294. [Apollo 12] THE LM INTREPID ON THE OCEAN OF STORMS Pete Conrad, 14-24 November 1969, EVA 1 Printed 1969. Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based Kodak paper [NASA image AS12-46-6777]. With "A Kodak Paper" watermark on the reverse, numbered "NASA AS12-46-6777" in red in the top margin (issued by NASA Manned Spacecraft Centre, Houston, Texas). 20.3 x 25.4 cm. (8 x 10 in.) Historical context A home on the Moon. Pete Conrad captured this striking photograph of the LM Intrepid as a part of the 8 o'clock panoramic sequence of Oceans of Storms Base. Standing about 9 meters southeast of Intrepid, he had descended slightly into Surveyor Crater, where the robotic Surveyor 3 spacecraft awaited their visit. In the background, the S-band antenna and the American flag stand as testaments to Apollo 12's presence on the Moon. "The Lunar Module seemed much larger sitting on the Moon than I had imagined. All alone, it seemed like a house, with Pete and I working and playing all around it. When I think about it now, it was the only 'house' for 239,000 miles." —Alan Bean (Constantine, p. 37)
