Lotto No. 227


Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17)


The last human in deep outer space: Ronald Evans performing the last deep spacewalk, at the greatest distance from any planetary body, 7-19 December 1972

Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1972, numbered "NASA AS17-152-23386" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 25,4 x 20,3 cm

A very rare and unreleased photograph.

“Adrift between the Earth and the Moon, Ron Evans retrieved the film canister of the mapping cameras on the day after Apollo 17 left lunar orbit. His spacewalk lasted an hour. Evan’s oxygen was fed from the spacecraft through the umbilical hose, with an emergency supply on his back. I was in the open hatch to help in retrieval, which was necessary because the Service Module would be jettisoned before we reentered the Earth’s atmosphere.”
Harrison Schmitt (NASA SP-250, p. 280).

“You’re not really a spaceman when you’re in the confines of your spaceship. You go outside, and you’re hanging on, maneuvering out there from the safety and security of our mother ship. If you ever want to be a spaceman, that’s the way to do it!”
Ron Evans (Chaikin, Voices, p. 122).
