I have to admit, the uncropped version of this image by Don Davis made me smile. That’s acetate sheet, and you can see the punch holes to line up the levels on an Acme Pegbar. That takes me back.

Ocean of Storms
Ryan Aeronautical Company artist’s concept depicting a close-up view of Surveyor 3 resting in the Ocean of Storms on the lunar nearside. Two Apollo 12 astronauts are seen approaching in the background. The Apollo 12 Lunar Module (LM) is in the left background. The Earth is in the right background. The inspection of Surveyor 3, which has been resting on the moon since April 1967, is an important objective of the Apollo 12 lunar landing mission. Selected pieces of Surveyor 3 will be brought back to Earth for scientific examination. Ryan landing radar has guided both Surveyor and Apollo spacecraft to soft landings on the moon.
