Fourth astronaut to walk on the Moon. Total Spacetime: 1,671 hours and 45 minutes.The story according to Alan Bean himself,The highest priority task Pete Conrad and I were scheduled to accomplish during our first moonwalk on Apollo 12 was the deployment of an unmanned geophysical station. We called it ALSEP, an acronym for Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package, and it consisted of a cluster of six experiments all connected to a central command and control station and powered by the first thermonuclear electrical power generator on the Moon.I have painted myself attaching the ALSEP components to either end of a lightweight metal bar. This "high tech barbell" was the best way we could think of to carry all this hardware to a relatively flat spot 300 feet away so the experiments wouldn't be blown over or covered with dust when we blasted off the Moon the next day. The waste-basket-shaped object on the near end of the bar is the seismometer. It measures moonquakes or meteoroid impacts; and, as surprised scientists discovered, our footsteps as we moved about our tasks. The magnetometer with its gold foil-covered sensor arms is just below.In my right hand you can see the bottom of the thermonuclear electric power generator. I can distinctly remember feeling the intense heat from the decaying plutonium fuel element - even through my heavily insulated suit. I wondered if the dedicated and able suit makers on Earth had anticipated this heat and built the suit to withstand it. But I didn't have time to worry about it then. We had to get on with our work. It was time to "load 'em up, and move 'em out." Provenance: Houston Museum of Natural Science, loan 2006-2011.

Early in life Walter Schirra, Jr. developed an avid interest in aviation that led to distinguished service as a fighter pilot. However, his great fame was to be won in space. In his own words, Walter Schirra entered the space program for the same reason he became a test pilot, "to push out the frontiers." His dream began on April 9, 1959, when he was named one of America's first seven pioneers of space travel. During his distinguished career, he became the first astronaut to fly in three different types of spacecraft -- Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. His bravery on such missions, like the October 3, 1962, space shot that circled the earth six times, made him a hero all across America. Three years later, he and his partner Thomas Stafford again astounded the world by orbiting the earth sixteen times and performing the first rendezvous in space. The two men guided their craft, Gemini 6, within one foot of Gemini 7; a miraculous feat, far out in the heavens. One of the most outstanding achievements of Walter Schirra's career was circling the earth a spectacular 163 times in Apollo 7. Walter Schirra's leadership on this and other missions helped clear the path for the epic journey to the moon.
