SIGNED BY DAVE SCOTT & ALAN BEAN!

Alan Bean depicts Apollo 15 commander Dave Scott recreating Galileo’s famous experiment from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Galileo postulated that gravity acts upon all objects with the same force, whether they are light or heavy. On Earth, the air would slow the feather’s fall, but Scott had no such limitation on the airless Moon. Both his lunar hammer and falcon feather (the LM was nicknamed Falcon) landed on the lunar surface at the same time, doing Galileo proud.

Print #335 out of an edition of 650. Signed in pencil by Bean and Scott, and numbered.

COA included.

NOTE: Serial number is written in black pencil, but the images on this page caught the lighting so that it would show up much better, resulting in a silvery look.
