In many ways a dress rehearsal for the Apollo 11 mission, astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young and Gene Cernan did just about everything the later Apollo 11 astronauts would do except for actually landing on the moon.

On Apollo 10's way to the Moon in 1969, a cloud of fiberglass particles was released into the spacecraft after a cover in the command module's tunnel hatch was torn. Commander Tom Stafford recalled, "The particles itched like hell and it took us hours to clean up what we could." 📽️ Video taken from inside the Command Module during the Apollo 10 mission | NASA History
