COSMIC MESSAGE
In September 1967, the Surveyor 5 lander slid several feet while making a successful soft landing on the Moon's Mare Tranquillitatis. The US Surveyor spacecraft were designed to determine if lunar surfaces were safe for manned landings. Surveyor 5 touched down on the inside edge of a small crater, inclined at about 20 degrees, and its footpad slipped, digging a trench.
