TWENTY-FIVE seconds late! Apollo 10 splashed down in the Pacific just three miles from the recovery carrier Princeton 25 seconds late after eight days of space travel and a journey of about half a million miles. Such was the almost unbelievable precision of the dress rehearsal of the planned lunar landing scheduled for July. The Apollo 10 flight was a duplicate of the landing mission except for the actual touchdown, and the crew of the lunar module approached to within 50,000 feet of the moon's surface to make a reconnaissance of the landing area.
