 Shepard made his second space flight as Commander of Apollo 14 from January 31 to February 9 , 1971 , America 's third successful lunar landing mission . Shepard piloted the Lunar Module Antares to the most accurate landing of the entire Apollo program . He became the fifth and , at 47 , the oldest man to walk on the moon . This was the first mission to successfully broadcast color television pictures from the surface of the Moon , using a vidicon @-@ tube camera . ( The color camera on Apollo 12 provided a few brief moments of color telecasting before it was inadvertently pointed at the Sun , ending its usefulness . ) While on the Moon , Shepard used a Wilson six @-@ iron head attached to a lunar sample scoop handle to drive golf balls . Despite thick gloves and a stiff spacesuit , which forced him to swing the club with one hand , Shepard struck two golf balls ; driving the second , as he jokingly put it , " miles and miles and miles " .

 " First Flight " was inspired by the 1983 film The Right Stuff , the story of the test pilots at Edwards Air Force Base and the first NASA astronauts . Reference is also made to the Apollo 11 lunar landing , when Archer mentions that no @-@ one remembers astronaut Buzz Aldrin 's first words when he stepped onto the moon . His actual first words were " Looks like the secondary strut had a little thermal effects on it right here , Neil . "

 In addition to fulfilling President Kennedy 's mandate to land a man on the Moon before the end of the 1960s , Apollo 11 was an engineering test of the Apollo system ; therefore , Armstrong snapped photos of the LM so engineers would be able to judge its post @-@ landing condition . He removed the TV camera from the MESA and made a panoramic sweep , then mounted it on a tripod 68 feet ( 21 m ) from the LM . The TV camera cable remained partly coiled and presented a tripping hazard throughout the EVA .

 A similar idea had been put forward by Edward Teller , the " father of the H @-@ bomb " , who , in February 1957 , proposed the detonation of atomic devices both on and some distance from the lunar surface to analyze the effects of the explosion .

 Broadcast on live TV to a world @-@ wide audience , Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface and described the event as " one small step for [ a ] man , one giant leap for mankind . " Apollo 11 effectively ended the Space Race and fulfilled a national goal proposed in 1961 by the U.S. President John F. Kennedy in a speech before the U.S. Congress : " before this decade is out , of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth . "
