This photo has ‘Eugene Cernan’ written all over it. Probably attributable to a good chunk of his Gemini-IXA "spacewalk from hell" footage being lost, along with being "tuned in" to capturing for posterity both the grandeur and nuance - while busting ass mind you - of what he was experiencing. Good thing too, since we've been sitting with our thumbs up ours - for way too long now.

"Astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr., Apollo 14 Commander, can be seen preparing to swing at a golf ball during a television transmission near the close of the second Extravehicular Activity (EVA-2) at the Apollo 14 Fra Mauro landing site. Shepard is using a real golf ball and an actual six iron, attached to the end of the handle for the contingency sample return. Astronaut Edgar D. Mitchell, Lunar Module pilot, looks on. Also visible in the picture is the erectable S-Band antenna (left foreground). Astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module Pilot (LMP), remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit, while Shepard and Mitchell descended in the Lunar Module (LM) to explore the moon."

Kid Cudi packed the stage with lights for his show last Friday...what a SETUP!

“Astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., Commander of the Apollo 12 lunar landing mission, completes his climb down the Lunar Module (LM) ladder after egressing the LM to become the third man in history to step foot on the Moon. He and fellow crewman, Astronaut Alan L. Bean, Lunar Module Pilot (LMP), were preparing to begin their preliminary phases of the first of two scheduled Apollo 12 periods of Extravehicular Activity (EVA). This reproduction was taken from live color television transmitted back to Earth during the sixth period of TV transmission for the Apollo 12 mission.”
You can make out LM Intrepid in the center of Conrad's visor, even the distinction between the descent stage, with the gold/orange color of the Kapton insulation, to the rendezvous radar antenna 'peak' of the ascent stage. The red and blue of the U.S. flag is also discernible on his left shoulder, with his raised left hand immediately next to it.
A shame that the camera was inadvertently rendered inoperative...these initial television transmissions really looked promising. Actually looked to be better than the inferior Apollo 14 broadcasts a little over a year later.
“Photo S83-28324 shows a strip mine on the Moon. Bulk soil is delivered by front-end loaders to an automated processing facility where the mineral ilmenite (FeTiO₃) is separated out and then chemically reduced by heating in the presence of hydrogen. The products of the reaction are metallic iron, titanium oxide, and water. The water is piped to an electrolysis facility where the hydrogen is recovered and the oxygen is stored in spherical tanks. In the foreground on the right, a filled tank is about to be carried to the landing pad where the lunar transfer vehicle is landing (left background). In the upper center sits a stack of imported hydrogen tanks. Power lines stretch over the ridge to undefined power station.”
Despite there being something a little wonky about the perspective, the depictions of objects relative to the perspective, apparent distance to the horizon (yes, I know it’s the moon, thereby relatively close), along with its rather abrupt/sharp terminus…it’s by Pat Rawlings…so it’s still gorgeous. Enjoy, in all its glorious 1200 dpi resolution.
Okay, so I think I’ve figured it out; there are two different “view angles” going on here. The left ½ - ⅔ of the image is shallower/more oblique, especially noticeable in the depiction of the excavated pit. The right half/third starts with a much steeper perspective of the nearer/foreground area, evident in the depiction of the tracked vehicle. Note also the softer transition from horizon-to-void to the right, starting at the power lines. To me, even the regolith on the right looks to be a shade lighter.
I can’t help but think Mr. Rawlings entirely reworked that side for some reason. But, maybe it’s just me.

Also, the image & following, as contained within NASA SP-509, Volume 4/"SPACE RESOURCES: Social Concerns":
"Lunar Mining and Processing
Though international law prohibits the annexation of any part of the Moon, it would allow the use of raw materials mined at a lunar base. In this concept, based on a model by Hubert Davis of Eagle Engineering, bulk soil from a strip mine is delivered by front-end loaders to an automated processing facility. The oxygen won from the process is liquefied and piped to the storage tanks on the right. One filled tank is being loaded now, perhaps to be used at the lunar base, perhaps to be shipped to orbit. The slag is carried by conveyor belt to a dump in the background to the left. Near it, a lunar lighter can be seen landing. The tanks stacked to the right of the buried habitat module contain hydrogen for use in the process and as propellant. Power lines stretch over the ridge to a power station, possibly a nuclear reactor."

And finally, from The Man himself! I knew I wasn’t crazy.
Just makes you respect & appreciate him that much more. An immensely talented class act:

Single J-2 rocket engine and the Saturn V third stage.
During the launch of each Apollo mission, the first and second stages fell back to earth and were destroyed. However, the third stages used to launch Apollo missions 8, 10, 11 and 12 remain in orbit around the sun.
Third stages from later missions (Apollo 13 - 17) were deliberately aimed at the surface of the moon. Seismometers left on the moon by earlier missions measured each impact, and the measurements were used to study the geology of the moon.
In 2002, astronomers observed an object in space that was probably the third stage used to launch Apollo 12:
