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.

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!
