“Apollo 12 Astronaut Alan Bean Visits Surveyor 3.” Postcard PC-A7 from the Hansen Planetarium in Salt Lake City (ca. 1973)

“Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean reaches toward the TV camera on the unmanned probe Surveyor 3 which landed on the Moon in April of 1967, 2.5 years before Apollo 12. In the background, only 170 meters (550 feet) away across “Surveyor Crater” is the Lunar Module. Bean and Conrad removed the camera and other parts of Surveyor and returned them to Earth for analysis.” [Text on the back of the postcard]
