The three Apollo 14 astronauts
are asleep inside their spaceship
as the craft hurtles toward the
moon. At last report the ship
was 103,000 miles from Earth,
nearing the half way point of its
long journey.
It was traveling at a speed of
about 3,800 MPH—but slowing
continually because of the pull
of the Earth’s gravity.
