“APOLLO 15--Astronaut David Scott sits on the lunar rover waiting for his partner James Irwin. They have just completed one of their EVA's and will return to the lunar module "Falcon"--bringing samples of rocks and soil. Apollo 15 was launched July 26, 1971 at 9:34 a.m. EDT and touched down at the Hadley-Apennine site at 6:16 p.m. EDT, July 30--staying a total time of 66 hrs. and 55 min. Astronaut Alfred Worden was the command module pilot.”

 

One of the most striking views of the LRV (in motion btw), on the lunar surface during the Apollo 15 mission.

 

Outstanding:
