This view of the Earth\u2019s crest over the lunar horizon was taken on July 29, 1971, during the Apollo 15<\/a> lunar landing mission.\u00a0Astronauts David Scott, Alfred Worden, and James Irwin launched<\/a> from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a Saturn V launch vehicle.<\/p>\n

Designed to explore the Moon over longer periods, greater ranges, and with more instruments for the collection of scientific data than before, Apollo 15 included the introduction of a $40 million lunar roving vehicle (LRV) that reached a top speed of 10 mph (16 kph) across the Moon\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n

Upon landing on the Moon<\/a> at the Hadley-Apennine site, Scott and Irwin conducted four spacewalks, including three excursions using the LRV, for a combined total of 19 hours. Worden remained in orbit aboard the command module Endeavour.<\/p>\n
