Description
Perhaps no other Apollo crew had as good a time on their lunar voyage than the men of Apollo 12. It was the second mission in which men walked on the moon. Veteran astronauts Pet Conrad and Richard Gordon were joined by rookie Alan Bean to make the flight in November of 1969. I have always been fascinated with the design of the Apollo spacecraft. This print is a study of the Apollo 12 Command and Service Modules - "Yankee Clipper". Pete Conrad and Al Bean made an unprecedented pinpoint landing close to the landing site of Surveyor 3 while Dick Gordon remained in lunar orbit. Prints are available through my website: www.markkarvon.com.Related content

Great sense of life and energy in a vast emptiness.

I wonder how it must feel to be the one staying in orbit. At this point you are the loneliest man in our universe...no where else is the distance between any human bigger...it must be a really weird feeling

Michael Collins said he wasn't lonely at all. He was quite content to be alone with the machine and occupied with his duties.

I've always thought/wondered that too.
