Hi kiwi:
It is true that we are fair to both sides of the earth, it is true that few places on earth is ground ..
And of course, of course I've heard Jack and Gene are excited to find the orange soil at Shorty crater's rim at Station 4:
145:26:17 Cernan: O-kaay! O-kaay.
145:26:22 Schmitt: Oh, hey! (Very brief pause)
145:26:25 Schmitt: Wait a minute ...
145:26:26 Cernan: What?
145:26:32 Cernan: Well, do not move it until I see it.
145:26:35 Schmitt: (Very excited) It's all over! ORANGE!
145:26:38 Cernan: Do not move it until I see it.
145:26:40 Schmitt: I stirred it up with my feet.
145:26:42 Cernan: (Excited, too) Hey, it is! I can see it from here!
145:26:44 Schmitt: It's orange!
145:26:46 Cernan: Wait a minute, let me put my visor up. It's still orange!
145:26:54 Schmitt: I've got to dig a trench, Houston.
145:27:00 Parker: Copy that. I guess we'd better work fast.
145:27:01 Cernan: Hey, he's not going out of his wits. It really is.
145:27:07 Parker: Is it the same color as cheese?
145:27:09 Cernan: Temperature on the SEP's about 102.
145:27:15 Schmitt: It's almost the same color as the LMP decal on my camera.
145:27:21 Parker: Okay. Copy that.
A highlight of the mission and fun ...
