The explorer's specialized suit is revealing of the extreme inhospitably of the martian environment to human life. Without the suit, not only would a human immediately suffer from Mars' lack of breathable oxygen and extreme cold, but the very thin atmosphere would result in all the fluids in the explorer's body quickly coming to a boil - at room temperature. That alone would cause immediate and catastrophic organ failure, unconsciousness, and imminent death. Thereafter the flesh would quickly desiccate and any liquids that had not boiled away would solidify, leaving a freeze-dried corpse far more impervious to decay than any Earth-bound mumm

He was photographed by astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr., mission commander, using a 70 mm modified lunar surface Hasselblad camera. While astronauts Shepard and Mitchell descended in the Lunar Module (LM) “” Antares”” to explore the Fra Mauro region of the moon, astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) “” Kitty Hawk””” in lunar orbit. Feb 5 1971

Apollo 17: Lunar Jeep - Apollo 17: Lunar Rover Vehicle - Mudguard at the rear of the jeep. 12/12/1972. A close - up view of the lunar roving vehicle (LRV) at the Taurus - Littrow landing site photographed during Apollo 17 lunar surface extravehicular activity. Note the makeshift repair arrangement on the right rear fender of the LRV. During EVA - 1 a hammer got underneath the fender and a part of it was knocked off. Astronauts Eugene A. Cernan and Harrison H. Schmitt were reporting a problem with lunar dust because of the damage fender. Following a suggestion from astronaut John W. Young in the Mission Control Center at Houston the crewmen repaired the fender early in EVA - 2 using lunar maps and clamps from the optical alignment telescope lamp. Schmitt is seated in the rover. Cernan took this picture. 12 Dec 1972

Apollo 17: Harrison Schmitt on the Moon - Apollo 17: Harrison Schmitt - Harrison Schmitt takes pictures near the rock at Station 6. 13/12/1972. Scientist - astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt is photographed working beside a huge boulder at Station 6 (base of North Massif) during the third Apollo 17 Extravehicular Activity (EVA - 3) at the Taurus - Littrow landing site. The front portion of the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is visible on the left. This picture was taken by astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, Apollo 17 commander. Schmitt is the lunar module pilot. While astronauts Cernan and Schmitt descended in the Lunar Module (LM) “” Challenger”” to explore the Moon, astronaut Ronald E. Evans, command module pilot, remained with the Apollo 17 Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar - orbit.13 December 1972

(23 April 1972) The Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) gets a speed workout by astronaut John W. Young in the “” Grand Prix”” run during the third Apollo 16 Extravehicular Activity (EVA 3) at the Descartes landing site. This view is a frame from motion picture film exposed by a 16 mm Maurer camera held by astronaut Charles M. Duke, Jr. While Astronaut's Young, commander, and Duke, lunar module pilot, descended in the Lunar Module (LM) “” Orion””” to explore the Descartes highlands region of the Moon, astronaut Thomas K. Mattingly II, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) “” Casper””” in lunar orbit

Apollo 11: lunar rock - Apollo 11: lunar rock - Close up of lunar rocks contained in the first container of samples brought by astronauts from the Apollo 11 mission. 26 July 1969. A close - up view of the lunar rocks contained in the first Apollo 11 sample return container. The rock box was opened for the first time in the Vacuum Laboratory of the Manned Spacecraft Center's Lunar Receiving Laboratory, Building 37, at 3:55 p.m. (CDT), Saturday, July 26, 1969. The gloved hand gives an indication of size. This box also contained the Solar Wind Composition experiment (not shown) and two core tubes for subsurface samples (not shown). These lunar samples were collected by astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. during their lunar surface extravehicular activity on July 20, 1969. 26 July 1969
