Astronaut Charles Duke left his family picture on the moon before departing, as part of the Apollo 16 mission.
And prior to leaving this photo, he went down in history for collecting the largest and heaviest lunar rock ever brought back to Earth: Big Muley. It was a hilariously awkward feat, and quite a dangerous one at that. It’s captured here on video:
The video is indeed hilarious, love the guy’s good ole boy accent.
This is still one of my favorite moon photos.
OMG. that video is great.
This photo always gets me.
