拍品专文

“Apollo is a great adventure. It’s a great step of Man. I think it will go down in history as a reach out to the inquisitiveness, the sense of exploration, the sense of adventure, the quest for knowledge that Man has within us, and it will always be that to me.”
Charles Duke (Chaikin, Voices, p. 198)

“To stand back and look at the entirety of North America is not something you can take for granted. Yet, here’s a picture to show you that it was done. It wasn’t taken by a black box or a camera we sent out in a satellite into space. It was done by this guy right here who thinks and acts, puts on his pants one leg at a time just like you. How did it feel for that guy to be there, to take the picture? That’s another thing. The pictures alone don’t do the whole job—they don’t properly record the emotional or the spiritual part of the history that took place—but they sure do carry their share of the load,” said Apollo 17 Commander Eugene Cernan (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 60).
