But the steep terrain made the going difficult, elevating the astronauts' heart rates. Additionally, without landmarks it was difficult to judge distances and the rolling terrain was filled with similar-looking ridges, so Shepard and Mitchell couldn't really tell if they were close to the rim or not.  Realizing time and available oxygen were getting short, Mission Control told the astronauts to head back to the <A rel="external" title="" class="alinks_links" href="http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/the-moon/">Lunar</A> Module, and although disappointed, the astronauts agreed.
