Description

Space Race and Moon Landing

Attractive poster produced by Nelson Doubleday Inc. to capitalize on the global interest in space explorations and plans for a Lunar landing. The poster showcases U.S. space exploration, highlighting the Gemini, Mercury, and Apollo missions that had previously ventured into outer space. Several illustrations show the trajectory of the Gemini and Agena which marked the United States' first orbit of Earth and provided practice for the Lunar landing. On the other side of the poster is a diagram for the hypothesized route of the Lunar module that would bring men to the moon.

The depiction of the Saturn V dates this poster to around 1968 while the lack of specific mention of a successful moon landing likely means this was produced before the Apollo 11 mission. It is an interesting look at the late Space Race and a reminder of the fervor generated by space travel in the late 1960s.

(Apollo 12) Alan L. Bean descending to the Lunar Surface

This historic photograph, AS12-46-6728, taken on November 19, 1969, captures the moment astronaut Alan L. Bean, lunar module pilot for the Apollo 12 mission, is about to step off the ladder of the Lunar Module, joining astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., the mission commander, for extravehicular activity (EVA) on the moon's surface. While Conrad and Bean embarked on this lunar exploration, astronaut Richard F. Gordon Jr., the command module pilot, remained in lunar orbit with the Command and Service Modules. The image stands as a testament to the teamwork and dedication that defined the Apollo 12 mission and furthered human understanding of Earth's celestial neighbor.
