John Young, Eugene Cernan or Thomas Stafford (Apollo 10)
Impact craters, as seen during the first revolution of Apollo 11 around the Moon, 18-26 May 1969
Two vintage gelatin silver prints on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, each numbered "NASA AS10-33-4866" and "NASA AS10-33-4887 (NASA MSC) in black in top margin, each 20,3x 25,4 cm
As the astronauts just arrived to the Moon, they were absolutely fascinated by the view over the lunar farside (see mission transcript) and they took these extraordinary photographs, the first located on the northeast rim of the 123-km Chaplygin Crater (5 S / 152 E); the second located in Smyth’s Sea west of Crater Hirayama (latitude / longitude: 2 S / 90 E).
From the mission transcript as the astronauts were taking their first look at the Moon during orbit 1:
076:03:24 Stafford: Oh, man! Oh, man, look at those shallow craters.
076:03:28 Cernan: Holy smoley!
076:03:29 Young: Okay.
076:03:30 Cernan: I guess we has arrived.
076:03:31 Stafford: You’d better believe it.
076:03:32 Young: I’ll tell you something. By God, they are craters!
076:03:34 Stafford: Yes. They sure don’t look like it, but they’re [garble] shit!
076:03:38 Young: Get some pictures, you guys. [...]
076:04:14 Young: That’s the weirdest-looking surface - there’s some color in that. [...]
076:04:23 Stafford: It’s a brownish gray, old buddy.
