David Scott The Lunar Module 'Spider' with landing gear deployed. Earth is seen in the background 3-13 March 1969 Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based paper, 25.2 x 20.5 cm (10 x 8 in), [NASA photo no AS9-21-3122], with A KODAK PAPER watermark on the verso Footnotes: Photographed from the Command Module Gumdrop, Spider is piloted by Schweickart and McDivitt and seen in lunar landing configuration with landing gear deployed. The Lunar Module, or the "ugly bug" as it was often called, was built of wafer-thin metal. A vehicle intended solely for use in space, it was so frail that its flanks would crumple if subjected to flight in Earth's lower atmosphere. Apollo 9 was the only mission where the beauty of the Earth served as a backdrop for the Lunar Module and the Command Module in flight.
