"There is nothing so far removed from us as to be beyond our reach or so hidden from us that we cannot discover it."
- Descartes

During deployment of the Apollo lunar surface experiments package (ALSEP) Young accidentally tripped over the heat flow experiment cable, pulling it from the connector. Mission control developed a way to repair the experiment, but the procedure was not used because it would have been too complex and too time consuming, and it included risks to some other ALSEP components.
