ALAN BEAN - APRIL 2001 " RIGHT STUFF FIELD GEOLOGISTS" 550 s/n Limited Edition Print The Apollo program was not only about getting to the moon and back, but making the best possible scientific observations once there. "Do we take test pilots and teach them geology or do we take geologists and teach them to fly?" was the question. The answer, in typical NASA fashion, was to create a team of both. This image of Apollo 17 Commander and skilled naval aviator Eugene A. Cernan handing yet another sample bag to Lunar Module Pilot and Doctor of Geology Harrison "Jack" Schmitt on the Taurus-Littrow Valley floor, represents the epitome of this exploration philosophy. On December 13, 1972, when Gene and Jack left the moon, they carried with them 240 pounds of lunar samples-more than any other mission could boast. Image size: 25 1/4"w x 161/2"h, published from the artist's original acrylic painting. 550 signed by the artist and consecutively numbered. Countersigned by Gene Cernan and Harrison "Jack" Schmitt.

With the burn of the service module engine just completed on the back side of the moon, these men are homeward bound. And, in the tradition of frontier artist-explorers Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, fine artist-astronaut-moonwalker Alan Bean was there!

ALAN BEAN - SEPT. 1997 " REACHING FOR THE STARS " 1500 s/n Limited Edition Canvas In his book Apollo: An Eyewitness Account, Alan Bean says of Reaching for the Stars, "In one sense this is a painting of a universal astronaut, symbolizing everyone who flew in Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Apollo-Soyuz. It also represents those who fly on space shuttles and will fly on a space station and on future missions only dreamed about at this time. The astronaut is an emissary of us all, soaring away from our planet earth... But in a broader view [Reaching for the Stars symbolizes] all of us who posses a dedicated and adventurous spirit no matter what our interests or age."

ALAN BEAN - FEB. 1997 " HEAVENLY REFLECTIONS " 850 s/n Limited Edition Print "I have painted Pete Conrad and myself 239,000 miles from Earth during the Apollo XII mission, standing on the Ocean of Storms, looking homeward. Pete and I had come a long way together. He is the best astronaut I have ever known. As we looked up, the sky was a deep shiny black. As I touched Pete's shoulder I thought, can all the people we know or have seen or heard about actually be up on that tiny blue and white marble? It was a wondrous moment."
