Official music video for Kid Cudi single "Make Her Say" featuring Kanye West & Common.
This is a frame from a video. You can watch it on Vimeo.
Interesting variant of the preceding photo in this album (Apollo: Conceptual, Artistic & Developmental), featuring an enormous, looming, menacing even, earth...found on the back cover of Charles Coombs' 1968 Scholastic Book Services soft-cover edition of "Project Apollo: Mission to the Moon".
I still have my ORIGINAL copy of that book...that my parents bought for me when I brought home the order form I received in class! Yeah - I'm old - damn skippy!
Post-EVA-2 LM window shot showing the LRV, flag, rake, scoop. Note the Sample Collection Bag (SCB) on the Rover gate and the EVA traverse maps serving as the makeshift right rear fender.

A frame from Charlie Duke's Station 9 panorama www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a16/a16pan1475645.jpg, with Stone Mountain in the background.
Superlative rakemanship by Jim Irwin - straight and true, continuous and even strokes, with the proper overlap...not bad for an Airman.
Great boot print too.
At Station 9A, within a hop, skip and a step of Hadley Rille.
Handsome artwork/painting (gouache I believe) depicting an early configuration LEM liftoff & ascent from the moon. Circa 1962/63, by artist/illustrator Don Crowley, most likely produced during his freelancing period.
Fascinating information on Mr. Crowley, who unfortunately, passed on earlier this year:

Note the exceedingly long...EVA antenna? Possibly jettisoned, folded, or somehow retracted prior to docking? I guess it wasn't an issue if the forward hatch/docking port was used.
A North American Aviation contractor works on an engineering model of the probe portion of the Apollo spacecraft docking system at the Manned Spacecraft Center. During docking maneuvers the docking probe on the Command Module (CM) engages the cone shaped drogue of the Lunar Module (LM). As part of this engineering set up, the drogue is likely the object on the far right (with the rope around it).
Such a pleasure to take photos of. They never stopped moving and throwing themselves about. A few of my friends make up this band so it was insane to watch them destroy at their first show.

The 'forgotten' Armstrong photo...the one that NASA doesn't want you to know about! ;-)
Obviously meant for internal consumption, dissemination, analysis, etc.
Verbatim from the ALSJ:
This underexposed picture of the Ascent Stage shows Neil at the MESA (lower left corner). The fact that Neil is in this picture was first noticed by Apollo historian Andrew Chaikin. See, also, a detail
www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/a11det5894.jpg
of Neil.
An enhanced version of the detail
www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/as11-5894enhnc.jpg
by Ulli Lotzmann shows that Neil has his side visor pulled forward and that his gold visor is up.
Every now and again when I'm on the road, I pull my car over to take photos when i see something i like or think would make a good photo... heres one of those time!

"Rightward from the famous "only good" photograph of Armstrong on the lunar surface, with the plus-Z (ladder) strut on the left and the jettison bag underneath the LM, between the plus-Z strut and the minus-Y (south) strut."
Above per the ALSJ.
Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong (on right), Commander; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module Pilot, are seen standing at the Lunar Module ladder in this black and white reproduction taken from a telecast by the Apollo 11 lunar surface television camera during the Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity. This photograph was made from a televised image received at the Deep Space Network tracking station at Goldstone, California.

Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, are seen standing by the Lunar Module ladder in this black and white reproduction taken from a telecast by the Apollo 11 lunar surface television camera during the Apollo 11 extravehicular activity. Astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Module in lunar orbit while Armstrong and Aldrin explored the moon. Armstrong became the first man to set foot on another celestial body.

A stunning view of Apollo 14 Lunar Module Antares. Some detail of the Cone Crater ridge is visible, along with the United States Flag, S-Band antenna, LM ladder, and the LRRR in the west footpad. Note also the TV cable emerging from the left side of the MESA.
And/or the "official" NASA write-up:
A front view of the Apollo 14 Lunar Module (LM), which reflects a circular flare caused by the brilliant sun, as seen by the two moon-exploring crew men (out of frame) of the Apollo 14 lunar landing mission during their first extravehicular activity (EVA). The unusual ball of light was said by the astronauts to have a jewel-like appearance. In the left background Cone Crater can be seen. In the left foreground are the erectable S-Band antenna and the United States flag. Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, descended in the LM, while astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit.

Kid Cudi at Case Western Reserve University's Fall Concert, presented by University Program Board (UPB).
“Conceptual drawing shows how the metal and textile wheel-tire recently unveiled for NASA officials by Goodyear’s Aviation Products Division will carry the mobile laboratory (MOLAB) vehicle being developed for lunar exploration. The 60-inch-diameter wheel-tire uses a positively-linked wire mesh, partially covered by a fiber pad, as the tire and tread because the hostile conditions of the moon prohibit use of the traditional tire concept of contained air under pressure.”
Despite mishandling, to include the upper right corner having been cut off...but at least not infringing the image, and of course the "military-grade caption adhesive" induced waviness along the left border, this is still a vibrant, high-gloss photo.
Not a particularly good work, but delightful nonetheless, by Al Johnson, whom I assume to be a Goodyear artist. As expected, zilch on him.
I can’t help but wonder what is the gizmo the astronaut’s holding. Geiger counter? Mass spectrometer?
Additionally, per “The Development of Wheels for the Lunar Roving Vehicle”/NASA/TM—2009-215798:
“MOLAB (1964 to 1965): NASA next sponsored the study of a Mobile Lunar Laboratory (MOLAB). This was a large pressurized vehicle to be used for long range exploration after the Apollo program. GM DRL and Goodyear again worked together and made a larger wire frame wheel with higher load capacity. However, they found that the wheel design could not easily be scaled to accommodate a higher load. For example, increasing the wire diameter elevated the stresses at the looped intersections, while increasing the number of wires made the wheels difficult to manufacture by hand. Working within these limitations, the prototype shown in Figure 3 was made; however, the wheel carcass was unable to support the vehicle weight. To fix this problem, a method to weave the carcass was developed at GM DRL using the process illustrated by Figure 4. As shown, the wires were precrimped at fixed intervals. In this fashion, they held their position in the carcass without excessive stress. Additionally, the manufacturing process enabled a much tighter spacing between wires.”

The prototype referenced in Figure 3 is exactly the wheel depicted in my posting:

Excellent view of the Apollo 11 landing site and Command Module "Columbia" from Lunar Module "Eagle" after undocking.
Photo is oriented with north to the top.
The Surveyor 5 landing site is within the field of view, to the left of the small crater chain near the top of the photograph. Roughly equidistant to the left of the wrinkle ridge that they’re to the right of.
Excellent context:

People take a look at our leaflets bearing the image of Kalki Avatar Ra Gohar Shahi as a presenter publicly announces the message of divine love. (Rajasthan, India).
Astronaut John W. Young, Commander of the Apollo 16 lunar landing mission, leaps from the lunar surface as he salutes the United States flag during the first Apollo 16 Extravehicular Activity (EVA) on the moon, as seen in this black & white reproduction taken from a color television transmission made by the color TV camera mounted on the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV). Astronaut Charles M. Duke Jr., lunar module pilot, stands beside the flag. While astronauts Young and Duke descended in the Apollo 16 Lunar Module (LM) "Orion" to explore the Descartes highlands landing site on the moon, astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Casper" in lunar orbit.

Based on the position of Young's legs and feet, I believe this to be his second leap.
