拍品專文

One of the iconic photographs of the Apollo program.

“In a burst of exuberance, Young goes aloft for Duke’s camera to demonstrate the Moon’s meager gravity pull” (Mason, p. 190).

“John Young reached a maximum height of 0.42 m. Although the suit and backpack weigh as much as he does, he only had to bend his knees slightly and then push up with his legs. In the background, we can see the UV astronomy camera, the flag, the LM, the Rover with the TV camera watching Young, and Stone Mountain” (ALSJ caption for AS16-113-18339).

“This shows the advantage of lunar gravity. I weighed, with my suit and backpack, about 360 Earth pounds, but only 60 pounds (30 kg) in the 1/6 gravity of the moon. The ‘jumping salute’ photo is one of my favorite pictures, as it shows how nice it will be to live and work on the Moon.”
John Young (Jacobs, p. 109)
