PIX4577032: Surface of the Moon - Apollo 14 - Lunar surface - Apollo 14 - Close-up of a large rock on the surface of the Moon, Apollo 14 mission, February 1971. A close - up view of a large boulder in a field of boulders near the rim of Cone Crater, which was photographed by the Apollo 14 moon - explorers during the mission's second extravehicular activity (EVA). Astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander, and Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, descended in the Apollo 14 Lunar Module (LM) to explore the lunar surface while astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit. 6 Feb. 1971 / Bridgeman Images
