“The Apollo 10 spacecraft, with Astronauts Thomas P. Stafford, John W. Young, and Eugene A. Cernan aboard, approaches touchdown in the South Pacific recovery area to conclude a successful eight-day lunar orbit mission. Splashdown occurred at 11:53 a.m. (CDT), May 26, 1969, about 400 miles east of American Samoa, and about four miles from the prime recovery ship, USS Princeton.”
