On November 14, 1969, Apollo 12 lifted off aboard a Saturn V when lightning struck the rocket twice just 36 and 52 seconds after launch. Multiple systems failed, sensors went dark, and spacecraft telemetry was lost. A calm crew and a single call from Mission Control helped restore power and save the mission, turning a near disaster into a successful lunar flight.

Apollo 12 was an electric ride...⚡ On November 14, 1969 the Apollo 12 crew prepared to journey to the moon. Though it was raining, there was no cause for delay. The Saturn V was designed to launch in any weather. The crew touched down in a lunar region known as the Ocean of Storms, approximately 950 miles west of where the Eagle had landed, and perfected the precision target landing technique. | NASA Astronauts
