 It appears as if Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan is about to be knighted during a suit fitting session at ILC in Dover, Delaware, in March 1972. In reality he is testing the mobility of his A7LB spacesuit, seen here without the white outer layer. |

When you think about it, it's probably one of the most important fit tests one could do for a Moon suit. Really neato pic! |
