APOD idea (Alan Bean)

Post by adamwhitley » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:56 am

How about one of Alan Beans Paintings? I haven't seen one in the archive, or on the years I have spent with apod as my homepage.
I suppose we'll be getting more apollo stuff soon...

Wow. That's a neat idea. I just picked up a copy of Alan Bean's book "Apollo - An eyewitness account by Astronaut / Explorer / Artist / Moonwalker Alan Bean" at our local library during one of their yearly book sales. Copyrighthed 1998.

It has lots of the picture from his site (maybe all of them?).

It also has info on his take on what was going on or people were thinking related to the picture he'd drawn.
