Catalogue Note
SIGNED and INSCRIBED by BEAN in gold pen: "My first steps into the Ocean of Storms, an alien world unlike our planet Earth. ALAN BEAN Apollo 12 1969."
On 14 November 1969, mere months after Apollo 11's groundbreaking space flight, Charles "Pete" Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean set out on Apollo 12 to undertake the second manned lunar landing mission. After the lunar module touched down in the Ocean of Storms (or "Pete's Parking Lot," as Conrad later joked), Conrad and Bean undertook two lunar EVAs. Bean is pictured here descending onto the lunar surface from the LM.
