Note du spécialiste

The shadow of the lunar module "Falcon" is in the foreground (ii). On Apollo 15 the lunar rover enabled the first true scientific exploration of the Moon.

“When I look at the Moon I do not see a hostile, empty world. I see the radiant body where man has taken his first steps into a frontier that will never end.”
David Scott (National Geographic, September 1973, “What Is It Like to Walk on the Moon?”, p. 329)
