The Artist of Apollo 12
Written by Nancy Atkinson
40 years ago today, Apollo 12 launched on their mission to the Moon. On board was Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon and Alan Bean. Bean is a gifted artist who has shared his experiences on the Moon like no other astronaut has through his paintings, which offer a unique look at both real and imagined events during all the different astronaut's moonwalks. (Check out his website to see a gallery of his amazing artwork.) And enjoy this great interview that Miles O'Brien did recently with Alan Bean.
NASA also has an interactive Apollo 12 feature.
