[i]When Pete Conrad and I came down the ladder for our first walk on the Moon, all we had with us were the clothes (and backpacks) on our backs. Most of our scientific equipment was stowed in fold-down compartments on the sides of the lunar module descent stage. Pete is working at the right front fold-down compartment, the Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly, offloading things we will need. We've already set up the large S-band antenna to improve voice and television communications with Earth. This painting emphasizes the size of the lunar module. As I looked at it on the Moon, it seemed much bigger than I remembered just four days previously back on the launch pad of Kennedy Space Center. It was a friendly home in a faraway world.[/i]
