Hows about we start a cool pictures thread. I've seen loads of photos that are great but don't belong in the photos that shook the world thread.

Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt collects lunar rock samples

and about the only guy on the moon where you can see his face inside the suit and not just a generic spacesuit guy. Which for me makes it all more real and human. You kinda imagine their heads would be bigger and more more centred in the EVA suit. Shows how bulky the kit was. IIRC he wanted to get the pure Mark 1 Human Eyeball(™) to gather the nuances of colour in the geology and also IIRC he got some static for lifting his visor like that when he got back home. Health and safety etc. Though the Apollo guys all suffered cataracts at a much earlier age than normal and those guys were all fitter than a butchers dog to start with.

I met him once way back in the day. A lovely man.

Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
