Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell or Stuart Roosa A pair of photographs: 1) CSM 'Kitty Hawk' awaiting the LM 'Antares' in lunar orbit 6 February 1971 Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based GAF paper, 20.3 x 25.4 cm (8 x 10 in), BLACK NUMBERED NASA G-71-5810 in bottom margin, [NASA photo no AS14-66-9347], with GAF watermarks on the verso, numbered, (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) 2) Jettison of 'Antares' after docking with 'Kitty Hawk' and transfer of the crew for transearth injection 6 February 1971 Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper, 20.3 x 25.4 cm (8 x 10 in), RED NUMBERED NASA AS14-74-10217, with A KODAK PAPER watermarks on the verso, (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center) Footnotes: After docking with the CSM and transfer of the crew, the LM was jettisoned and drifted into space before crashing into the Moon at a velocity of approximately 1,600 km/hour. 'Because you were running on adrenalin, you didn't really feel the exhaustion. That all came after you got back in the Command Module, took off the suit and relaxed for a minute. And then you realized you were just dead tired. And we hurried. Even Houston hurried us, because they wanted to get us out of orbit on the next pass, because they knew we were all dog tired.'
