Apollo 12 "Lunar Landing" CSM w/Lunar Module

Apollo 11 is clearly the most famous mission of the whole Apollo program that put man on the Moon, this momentous event occurring on 20 July 1969. The mission four months afterwards, Apollo 12, was the second manned flight to the lunar surface. Blasting off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Lunar Module (LM) containing the astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean landed on a site at 3.01239° S latitude, 23.42157° W longitude, on 19 November 1969. The LM, which was christened Intrepid, touched down with pinpoint accuracy just 160m from the unmanned Surveyor 3 probe that had been sitting on the Moon’s surface for the past 31 months. They spent more than 30 hours on the Moon performing scientific tasks such as collecting rock samples and measuring the Moon’s seismic activity, magnetic field and solar wind flux. Samples from the unmanned Surveyor 3 probe were collected, this being the only occasion that humans have ever recovered a probe sent to another world.
