Apollo Astronaut Charles Duke Reveals What The Moon Really Looked Like, Before Time Runs Out

At 89, Apollo astronaut Charles Duke is speaking with a rare kind of clarity. Not about myths, not about aliens, not about conspiracy, but about the Moon as it truly felt through the visor of Apollo 16. The sky was a black you cannot photograph, the surface was painfully bright, and the shadows were razor sharp. Duke also explains why the iconic Earth view was not what most people imagine, and why Apollo 16’s science deserves far more attention than it gets.
