NASA History Office @NASAhistory · 16h 51 years ago today, David Scott and James Irwin's nearly 3-day stay on the Moon started off with a bang—literally. Irwin described the Apollo 15 Lunar Module's landing as the hardest he had ever experienced.

Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, works at the Lunar Roving Vehicle during the first Apollo 15 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA) at the Hadley-Apennine landing site. The shadow of the Lunar Module "Falcon" is in the foreground. This view is looking northeast, with Mount Hadley in the background. This photograph was taken by astronaut David R. Scott, commander.
