"The lunar excursion module burns its engine to lower itself to the lunar surface. Approximately 7,000 ft. per second velocity gains to bring you down to a hovering position. With landing legs extended, you have the capability to hover for a minute to translate the vehicle something like a thousand feet to actually pick the point of touchdown."
What the hell way is that to write a description? The way it reads, the buffoon responsible for writing it appears to have been using the transcript of a casual conversation, conducted on a patio, during a barbecue, with possibly a beer in one hand - cigarette in the other, by some GAEC engineer. Bizarre.
Nonetheless, it's a wonderful depiction of the Lunar Excursion Module descending to the lunar surface - by NASA artist Gerry Lyons.

Just one of MANY amazing photos in Mr. Beaumont's albums.
