Charles Duke (American, b. 1935) John Young in front of the lunar-science station, EVA 1, Apollo 16, April 1972. Numbered 'NASA AS16-114-18388' (NASA MSC) in red on the recto u.r. margin. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper with 'A Kodak Paper' watermark on the verso, image size 7 1/8 x 7 in. (18.0 x 17.5 cm), unmatted. Condition: Good. N.B. Young bags a sample from a small crater at the lunar-science station (ALSEP site). His backpack's antenna used for communication is visible against the dark sky of space. 'That blackness you see in those photographs is just black black,' remembered Duke. 'You feel like you can go over there and it's a black velvet screen—it's just a backdrop for this stage deal we did. So that's the feeling of space, that you can just reach out and touch it. And yet there's nothing there' (quoted in Chaikin, Voices, p. 68).
