I found this picture from NASA's picture of the day site captivating. It was taken 50 years ago, on April 20th 1972. That these guys went to the moon on this equipment is amazing.
Apollo 16's lunar module Orion touched down on the Moon's near side in the south-central Descartes Highlands. This panoramic view puts the lunar module in the distance toward the left. Their electric lunar roving vehicle in the foreground, Duke is operating the camera while Young aims the high gain communications antenna skyward, toward planet Earth.
