“Only direct reference to the rugged surface of the moon the LM astronauts have is furnished by their Ryan Landing Radar. Landmarks pass rapidly beneath, small craters appear everywhere. Familiar reference – like a house or a highway – is not to be seen. The radar continuously feeds accurate measurements of true altitude and forward or lateral velocity to the astronaut’s cockpit displays.”
Exquisite artist’s concept, courtesy the irrepressible Robert Watts, as part of an Apollo 10 'Souvenir Portfolio' on the Lunar Module's Ryan Aeronautical-manufactured landing radar.
8.5" x 11", fine pebble-grain finish.
Hmm. Timing, appearance...coincidence? I think not. But this kind of shit is rampant. Nowadays, common courtesy is apparently optional:
