Eugene Cernan Harrison Schmitt with the Earth above the deployed American flag, the photographer reflected in the visor; EVA 1 12 December 1972 Vintage chromogenic print on resin-coated Kodak paper, 20.5 x 25.3 cm (10 x 8 in), [NASA photo no AS17-134-20384], with THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK watermark and NASA Manned Spacecraft Center caption featuring the "worm" logo on the verso Footnotes: "On most of the other flights the Earth was straight up; on Apollo 17 we landed at an easterly landing site that put the Earth lower in the sky. Jack (Harrison Schmitt) was there by the flag with the Earth just over his shoulder, and I said to myself I need to get the Earth in the background. I couldn't lie down on the ground and point the camera upward, so I took it off my chest, turned it upside down, and held it down at knee level. I didn't sight it. I didn't know what I was going to get. I just took a series of pictures from between my legs (...) You can even see the mountains of the Moon in the background. I captured the Earth, the Moon, the man, and the country all in one. I am proud of those pictures" - Gene Cernan (Ron Schick and Julia Van Haafen, The View from Space, p. 65) Condition Report: Light handling wear, otherwise good Condition Report Disclaimer
