Are there any images of David Scott during the stand up EVA taken by Jim Irwin from inside the lunar module during the event? I'm sure photographing this event from the interior of the LM would have been a low priority. I have done, what I think, is a thorough search online and of the previous EVA/photo related posts here and come up empty. I assume that is because the image does not exist but just wanted to verify it. |

The next moon/mars walkers will surely be wearing GoPro's (or equivalent). Not a moment to be missed. |

I really should know where to find these but I can't seem to think: Where can I find the photos Dave Scott took from the top of the lunar module after landing? I recall that Lee Silver advised him to capture the perspective of the surrounding area first and foremost. Thanks in advance. Editor's note: Threads merged. |

Brilliant, thank you. In case anyone is interested, here is the text from "A Man on the Moon" (Andrew Chaikin) which prompted me to ask for these: Lee Silver had taught him: when you arrive at a new field site, go to a high place and look around. Scott was ready to do just that, and the high place was the lunar module's top hatch.7:22 P.M. As the last wisps of oxygen left Falcon's cabin, Irwin stood by while Scott opened the top hatch, climbed onto the ascent engine cover, and stood up, so that his helmeted head and shoulders stuck up above the LM's gleaming metal structure. From this high vantage, Scott beheld a scene that was at once alien and uncannily familiar. All around him, beyond the undulating mare, stood the rounded peaks of the Apennines. Nothing, not months of study, not even the view from orbit, had prepared him for the majesty of the lunar mountains. Their smooth, bright forms were arrayed in fluid sculpture under the black sky. Their slopes were virginal, marred by only an occasional small crater. For eons they had stood unchanged; now, gazing on their ancient beauty, Scott was all but overwhelmed. |
