The Mysterious 30 Year Journey of Apollo 12

Let’s talk about Apollo 12 and its incredible 30 year journey through space. In September 2002, astronomers discovered what they first thought was an asteroid, but would soon find out it was the Saturn V third stage that launched the Apollo 12 astronauts to the Moon. This rocket left Earth in 1969 and returned to Earth 30 years later.

But what happened in the meantime? In this video we look at how one tiny error in the Apollo 12 mission sent this rocket stage on a 30 year trip through space!
