Apollo 16 astronauts relax in life raft while awaiting helicopter

Apollo 16 astronauts, from left to right, Charles M. Duke, Jr., John W. Young and Thomas K. Mattingly II relax in life raft while awaiting helicopter pickup today to the USS Ticonderoga, located about 1 1/2 kilometers (1 nautical mile) away. Returning with hundreds of photographs and more than 91 kilograms (200 pounds) of lunar rock samples from the Moon's Descartes area, the Astronauts splashed down at 2:45pm EST, 2778 kilometers (1500 nautical miles) south of Hawaii.
