Heavenly Reflections by Alan Bean
"I have painted Pete Conrad and myself 239,000 miles from Earth, standing on the Ocean of Storms, looking homeward. Pete and I had come a long way together. He is the best astronaut I have ever known. It was incredible to be standing on the moon with him. It was good to take a moment to reflect on all the dedicated people it took to get us here for America. We were the lucky ones. As we looked up, the sky was a deep shiny black. I guessed that deep, shiny black was the color one sees looking into infinity. A I touched Pete's shoulder I thought, can all the people we know, ever seen on television or read about actually all be up there on that tiny blue and white marble? Earth…small, but so lovely…easily the most beautiful object we could see from the moon. It was a wondrous moment." - Alan Bean
