“GATHERING LUNAR SOIL--Apollo 11 Spacecraft Commander Neil Armstrong scoops lunar soil sample into pouch held by Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Aldrin in this illustration by North American Rockwell’s Space Division. About 50 pounds of rock and soil are to be brought back to earth. Space Division, which produces the Apollo command and service modules (seen orbiting moon), is among principal investigators selected by NASA to help analyze lunar soil which will be returned to earth in command module.”
This photograph was likely part of a North American Rockwell Apollo 11 press kit, along with a booklet that featured many works by Gary Meyer. So, by extension…?
A beautiful work, best remembered by me as being featured on the cover of “The ASTRONAUT TRAIL Magazine”, Volume 2, Number 1 (July 1969), along with at least one children’s book.
Food for thought…for me at least; the art director of the magazine was Loren R. Fisher, NASA/KSC “technical information” artist, as of ca. 1963 at least. Hmm, interesting.
