“APOLLO 15 LRV ON MOON---An artist's concept of the Apollo 15 Hadley-Apennine landing area showing the two moon-exploring crewmen on a traverse in their Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). The two figures represent Astronauts David R. Scott, commander, and James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot. The Apollo 15 Lunar Module is in left background. (Art work by Teledyne Ryan.)”

 

“Art work by Teledyne Ryan” means it’s by Robert Watts…whose signature has been removed by the cropping of the image, in comparison to the linked Teledyne Ryan issuance of it.

 

It looks like Dave’s got the pedal to the metal and is barreling INTO Hadley Rille…probably redlining it at ~12 mph! Like “Thelma & Louise”!
