Penultimate Crewed Mission to Land on the Moon
APOLLO 16 LIFTOFF-The huge, 363-feet tall Apollo 16 (Space-craft 113/Lunar Module 11/Saturn 511) space vehicle is launched from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Florida, at 12:54:00.569 p.m. (EST), April 16, 1972, on a lunar landing mission. Aboard the Apollo 16 spacecraft were Astronauts John W. Young, commander; Thomas K. Mattingly II, command module pilot; and Charles M. Duke, Jr., lunar module pilot.
Apollo 16 was NASA’s fifth mission to land astronauts on the Moon. The crew explored the lunar highlands in the Descartes region, using the Lunar Roving Vehicle to travel farther from the lunar module than ever before. They stay focused on collecting geological samples, deploying scientific experiments, and taking photographs. Apollo 16’s findings showed the Descartes terrain was formed by impacts, not volcanic activity as previously thought, marking a major scientific discovery in lunar exploration.
Background on Creator
The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO), now known as the U.S. Government Publishing Office, was established in 1861 to serve the printing needs of the federal government. During World War II, the GPO played a crucial role by producing a vast array of materials designed to inform, motivate, and unite the American public—including propaganda posters such as the war bond poster seen here.
