Apollo 14 backup pilot Eugene A. Cernan narrowly escaped death when helicopter in which he was practicing lunar landing maneuvers crashed and burned in Indian River near KSC. After leaping from helicopter and swimming toward shore Cernan was rescued and taken to Patrick AFB for treatment of minor cuts and bruises and singed eyelids and eyebrows. (UPI, W Post, 1/24/71, A5)
Baltimore Sun editorial praised U.S.-U.S.S.R. agreement to exchange lunar samples: "The scientists and engineers are unmistakably pointing the way which soon or late must be taken if men are to make the most of opportunities offered them by the opening of vast new extraterrestrial horizons of inquiry and adventure."
