Golf ball on the moon A little more than 50 years ago, Commander Alan Shepard accomplished the unprecedented he hit a golf ball on the moon, just outside the Lunar Lander. When Apollo 14 landed on the moon on February 6, 1971, humankind had already been there several times. Shepard fashioned a club out of a sample-collector used on the mission and launched into space the first golf ball, which was originally thought to have travelled up to 200 yards before landing. Shepard believed his second ball went flying for “miles and miles and miles,” but now, a Nasa digital image restorer thinks he’s relocated one of those balls, and as it turns out, it didn’t go for miles.
