“EVA-3 at the LM. Portrait of Jack Schmitt with the LRV in the foreground and the U.S. flag in the background. Note the checklist on his left wrist and the camera mounted on his chest-mounted Remote Control Unit (RCU). A packet of individual sample bags is hanging from his camera bracket. Note, also, the LRV sampler which Jack is either holding in his left hand or has attached to a waist-mounted "yo-yo" tether.”

Additionally, Earth can be seen as a tiny 'pale blue dot' over South Massif in the reflection from Schmitt's visor.
