Astronaut James Irwin (1930-1991) gives a salute on the Moon, 1971. Irwin, pilot of the Lunar Module, gives a military salute while standing beside the deployed U.S. flag during the Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The flag was deployed toward the end of EVA-2. The Lunar Module Falcon is partially visible on the right. Hadley Delta in the background rises approximately 4, 000 metres (about 13, 124 feet) above the plain. The base of the mountain is approximately 5 kilometers (about 3 statute miles) away. This photograph was taken by David R Scott, commander of the Apollo 15 mission

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment on the Moon during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971. Astronaut James Irwin, pilot of the Lunar Module Falcon, stands proudly beside the deployed U. S. flag at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. In this extraordinary image, Irwin gives a military salute, symbolizing both his personal achievement and honoring his country. The photograph was taken by David R Scott, commander of Apollo 15, showcasing not only their remarkable teamwork but also their dedication to scientific exploration and space travel. The Lunar Module Falcon can be seen partially visible on the right side of the frame. Hadley Delta rises majestically in the background, its peak reaching an impressive height of approximately 4,000 meters above the lunar plain. The base of this magnificent mountain is about 5 kilometers away from where Irwin stands. This stunning image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination as we ventured beyond our home planet for unprecedented discoveries. It represents America's commitment to pushing boundaries and advancing our understanding of space and our place within it. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are reminded of James Irwin's bravery and pioneering spirit that allowed him to take part in one of humanity's greatest achievements - setting foot on another celestial body.
