On January 31 1971, following a four month delay in their launch due to a spacecraft explosion during the flight of Apollo 13, the crew of Apollo 14 - CDR Alan Shepard, CMP Stu Roosa and LMP Ed Mitchell launched from the Kennedy Space Center for a trip to the Moon's Fra Mauro highlands region. This original documentary takes a look at how Shepard, after being medically grounded due to an inner-ear disorder, regains full flight status and is given command of Apollo 14. You will hear and see archival footage used to tell the story of the difficulties the crew faced during their journey toward the moon that nearly sunk the mission before they reached the moon. On this 100th anniversary of Alan Shepard's birthday, recount how he and his Apollo 14 crewmates overcame countless obstacles to reach the moon and set a then record for the longest time spent on the moon by any Apollo crew up to that time.
