Bean descended in the Apollo 12 Lunar Module to explore the lunar surface while Astronaut Richard F. Gordon Jr. remained with the Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit. “I’ve always thought those pictures... we took of each other on the Moon were all we were going to have left after it was over to remember what we did.” Pete Conrad (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 40).
