Alan Bean with Surveyor III

Alan Bean and Pete Conrad took turns photographing each other beside Surveyor III, an unmanned probe sent two years earlier to scout Apollo landing sites. Surveyor was the first spacecraft to "soft land" on another world. Apollo 12's objective was to land as close to the Surveyor as possible. The Apollo 12 LM Intrepid is seen on the crater rim above Bean. Bean has added "Me and Surveyor III".
