The proceedings from the tenth anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing are presented. Future direction of the space programs and space exploration are discussed.
Geochemical and petrologic data indicate that the 73 Apollo 11 basalts thus far identified can be divided into five petrologic groups (A, B1, B2, B3, D) which must represent at least five separate igneous cooling units. These five igneous bodies range in age from 3.90 b.y. to 3.60 b.y. Photogeologic studies indicate that three mare units are present, and that the lunar module set down on the oldest of the three. The exposure age data suggest that the high-K flow is the surficial rock type at the landing area, and is, therefore, probably the oldest of the three mare units. By examining the size frequency distribution and the inferred cooling rates of the individual samples, it is possible to calculate the formation thicknesses within the 30-m-deep West Crater. This suggests that A = 9 m, B1 = 2 m (and may be an ejecta blanket), B2 is equal to or greater than 8 m, and B3 = 6 m.
The crewmembers of Apollo 11, Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Aldrin, Jr., and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, are seen performing various on-orbit activities, including systems identification and Lunar Module checkout. The Earth is seen from space.
