The apollo 14 Lunar Module as seen by the two moon-exploring crewmen of the Apollo 14 lunar landing mission, photographed against a brilliant sun glare during the first extravehicular activity (EVA-1). A bright trail left in the lunar soil by the two-wheeled Modularised Equipment Transporter (MET) leads from the LM. While Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, were exploring the Moon, Astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, was manoeuvring the Command and Service Modules in lunar orbit.
