On November 14, 1969, Apollo 12, the second manned mission to the moon lifts off.
Pictured: An Apollo 12 crew member (either Bean or Conrad) examines the camera attached to the unmanned Surveyor III spacecraft before taking it back to Earth for analysis. Surveyor III landed on the moon in 1967, and over the course of its own mission sent back to Earth more than 6,000 images of the lunar surface.
