Alan B. Shepard Jr.
Astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander of the Apollo 14 lunar-landing mission, shown here participating in lunar-surface training at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Shepard is adjusting a camera mounted to the modular equipment transporter (MET). The MET, nicknamed the “Rickshaw,” served as a portable workbench with a place for the Apollo lunar hand tools and their carrier, three cameras, two sample container bags, a special environment-sample container, and a lunar-surface penetrometer.
