“LUNAR TESTS -- Jack Mays, a test subject from the MSC Crew Systems Division, wears an International Latex Corporation spacesuit under a thermal overgarment during tests at the Lunar Topographical Simulation Area. He is also wearing a Portable Life Support System (PLSS) back pack. A full-scale mock-up of a Lunar Module is in background.”

 

…What he is not wearing however, is a helmet. In fact, he may be yelling something like “Where the f**k is my helmet?!?!?! You knew they were coming to take pictures today!!!” Or, being a consummate NASA professional, he may be realistically portraying his final moments in the near vacuum of the lunar surface, attempting to gasp…right before his eyes pop out of his head.

The top of a MSC water tower can be seen 'next' to the Lunar Module Descent Engine (LMDE) skirt/nozzle.
