The two astronauts on board were Pete Conrad and Alan Bean. Richard Gordon stayed in the command module and orbited the moon while his crewmates went to the surface. The astronauts made a pinpoint landing in a lunar mare called the Ocean of Storms. The previous moon mission, Apollo 11, drifted far from the planned landing

On November 14, 1969, Apollo 12 lifted off aboard a Saturn V when lightning struck the rocket twice just 36 and 52 seconds after launch. Multiple systems failed, sensors went dark, and spacecraft telemetry was lost. A calm crew and a single call from Mission Control helped restore power and save the mission, turning a near disaster into a successful lunar flight.
