Apollo 15 was the first J mission (longer three-day stays with an extended LM, three LEVAs, and a LRV), with a longer stay on the lunar surface, and an increased focus on science. The mission is remembered for the finding of the Genesis Rock, and for Scott using a hammer and a feather to test Galileo's theory that absent air resistance, objects drop at the same rate.
