Apollo 16 was the second the the “J” missions, where the scientific content was increased by both the extended time on the Moon and the inclusion of a Lunar Roving Vehicle, which allowed the astronauts to cover a much greater area of the lunar surface. Apollo 16 was also the only mission to put a telescope on the Moon - one designed to operate in ultra-violet light - and it also included the Lunar Olympics and a Grand Prix!
