拍品專文

Stripes on Commander Shepard’s helmet and on his arms and legs help distinguish him from Mitchell, who has no stripes. Shepard “steadies the flagpole. The partial shadow to the right is cast by the erectable S-band antenna; the shadow of the LM extends along the left” (NASA SP-272, p. 15).

114:43:55 Shepard: Okay. (To Mitchell) Take a picture this way (facing the 16-mm camera) and then we’ll swing it (the US flag) around so they can see it in the television.
114:44:01 Mitchell: All right.
114:44:02 McCandless (Mission Control): Okay we can see it...
114:44:03 Shepard: Okay, let me turn it around a little (garbled) here. (Long Pause) Okay. (Pause) There we go. (Pause)
114:44:39 Mitchell: I think I’m still too close to you, Al.
114:44:42 Shepard: Look out for the LM leg.
114:44:45 Mitchell: Yeah. (Pause)
114:44:50 Shepard: Okay. And when you’re finished (having his picture taken), you can flop it around so they can see it a little better on the TV.
