A great image giving a perspective of the astronauts that we rarely get to see.
Also, the 70's have a a lot to answer for when it came to fashion.

It looks like Mitchell might be exercising his right hand. The moonwalkers all had to exercise their hands to build strength to overcome the stiffness of their pressurized gloves.
