Here's a 8x10 photo of the
Apollo 9 crew as the backup

Apollo 1. Not long after

Cunningham and Eisele, to
fly the first Apollo manned
mission, which turned out
to be Apollo 7 (Apollos 2-6
were unmanned test flights.) APOLLO 9 crew as Apollo 1 backups

 At Pete Conrad's funeral at
Arlington Cemetary in 1999,
Alan Bean's eulogy was a
tear-jerker. He said Pete
was "the finest man he
ever knew." We had
done this reworking of the
familiar Conrad-shot photo
as a gag for Alan's
birthday card a few years
before, and resurrected it
to have him sign the phrase
"taking the measure of
a great man" as a
tribute to his fallen pal.
Pete is sharply reflected
in Alan's visor. Artists
often use the handle of
their paintbrush to measure
proportions of their
subject. 8x10 Sepia-toned. Alan Bean "Measure of a Man"

This famous photo was taken
aboard the Apollo XVII
command module America in
December, 1972 as the final
Apollo flight was embarking
from Earth for what was to
become the longest and most
successful lunar mission to
the Taurus-Littrow region.
It has been called the
"most significant
photo of the 20th
Century", the African
and Antarctic continents
plainly visible. It was
summer in the Southern
hemisphere, and winter in
the North. Apollo 17 was
the only mission to view
the Earth in this full
phase, and even modern
weather satellites cannot
duplicate this extreme
southern view, as they are
in equatorial orbits. 20x20
