February 6, 1971 –
Apollo 14 astronaut Alan Shepard becomes the first person to hit a golf ball on the Moon on this date.
Near the end of the second moonwalk and just before entering the lunar module for the last time, Shepard attaches a six-iron to the end of a sample collecting tool and hits two golf balls. The first lands in a nearby crater. He hits the second one squarely, and, in the one-sixth gravity of the Moon, Shepard says that it travels “miles and miles and miles.”
