(qualifying, I suppose, as a note to Greenwich Workshop and Novaspace).

John Young's retirement offers the opportunity for the issuance of another Bean print and there are a number of gorgeous selections specific to Apollo 16.

For both men on the Moon, "On the Rim" would offer a fine illustration of both the blackness of the environment, as well as having both astronauts in the print with the rover. Otherwise, if Capt. Young can be encouraged to co-sign a print specific to him, the following prints offer a great opportunity.

"An American Success Story" -- great view of Young and the flag
"Lunar Grand Prix" -- a chance to recognize the record holder for lunar surface speed
"Our Own Personal Spaceship" -- A fine view of the suit
"On the Timeline" -- a fine painting

With five different Bean prints, I would not object to the opportunity to make it an even half dozen.

All times are CT (US)
