拍品专文

From the LM Challenger, the last men on the Moon Cernan and Schmitt could inspect and photograph the Command Module including its SIM Bay with the 60mm lens before docking for the homeward journey to Earth.
The 33-km Crater Auzout is in the foreground and the 48-km Crater Condorcet P is in the background 110 km below. Latitude / longitude: 11°N 64.5° E.

Eugene Cernan described his feelings: “When we got back in that Command Module, we were home. Never mind that we were in lunar orbit, it was home” (Chaikin, Voices, p. 117).

189:55:00 Mission Control: Challenger, America, that’s good on the inspection from questions from here, anyway. Clear to continue and proceed with docking.
189:55:12 Evans: Okay.
