70sscifiart: For Space Helment Reflection Saturday, the rare real-life version: Painted by Pierre Mion for National Geographic, Apollo 15’s Jim Irwin is framed against the moon while assisting the (reflected) Al Worden in a spacewalk to recover film cassettes on Aug 5, 1971. You can read through a transcript of the spacewalk over here, complete with a line from Worden as he witnesses the view that Mion recreated here: “Jim, you look absolutely fantastic against that Moon back there. That is really a most unbelievable, remarkable thing.” -- source link
