Does anyone know where I can find a photo of Bruce McCandless sitting at the Capcom console during the Apollo 11 lunar EVA? I prefer a photo during the mission, but I'll settle for a simulation photo. |

I don't think I have ever seen a front view of McCandless at the CapCom console, but I have a rear view of him looking at the big screen in Mission Control. |

What exactly do you have? Is it a photo or a JPG? |

It is a JPEG, which can also be found here. Don't let the caption fool you, the photo was made during the early moments of the EVA. |

Thanks for the link. I searched that site, but I didn't find anything. I'm glad your recognized it for what it was. |

I got Bruce to sign this image the last time I saw him at the Autographica show in the UK a couple of years ago: |

Keep me in mind if you ever decide to sell it. |

While not taken during the EVA, this photo of McCandless was taken during the Apollo 11 TLI. |
