New York Times editorial commented on Apollo 14 lunar landing: "... no one who sat entranced before the picture of yesterday's historic events can have doubted that Antares has scored a major triumph in the effort to advance lunar exploration. Today Shepard and Mitchell will face new problems and grasp new opportunities as they lope their way toward Cone Crater and its geological riches. These two brave and highly skilled men-along with their partner, astronaut Roosa, in lunar-orbiting Kitty Hawk-are writing another brilliant and memorable chapter in man's still-infant probing of earth's nearest neighbor in the vast reaches of space."
