Apollo 10 was NASA’s “almost, but not quite” moon landing. They tested everything—except the actual landing, of course.
Once in lunar orbit: John Young lounged in the Command Module, while Thomas Stafford and Gene Cernan took the Lunar Module for a joyride. They did loop-de-loops around the moon, reconnecting after four orbits.
While on the moon’s dark side — out of communication range with Houston — the crew heard the weirdest thing.
Amidst all the noises of the spacecraft, this eerie “space music” played on.
And what’s NASA’s explanation? Oh, just some casual radio interference between the Command and Lunar Modules. Sure, or was it one of the Scariest Things Astronauts Said.
