This one is called "That's How It Felt To Walk On The Moon" and it tugs at my heart every time I see it. #alanbean #apollo12 #moon #spacerace

53 years ago today, my favourite of the #NASA #Apollo #Moon missions blasted off. #Apollo12 was unique in many ways, but for me, it was the mission where the #astronauts rendezvoused with #Surveyor3 - an unmanned probe already on the lunar surface, the only time man has caught up with a previously launched craft.
After he returned to earth Alan Bean became a painter - mostly painting his lunar experiences. One of my ambitions is to own an #alanbean print. One day... -

So sad to learn that Alan Bean, Apollo 12 astro & 4th person to walk on the moon, has left us. I'll never forget the stories he would tell about Apollo, or the pep talk he so kindly gave me when I needed one. Farewell, Al! I wish you spaghetti dinners wherever you are! #AlanBean
