re: J-type missions were GREAT!!!!!!!

And there also was the spacewalks on the way back from the Moon! No one ever had spacewalked so far away from Earth than Worden, Mattingly and Evans!
Strangely, Worden only spent 20 minutes outside; as if he was in a hurry to finish the job.
I asked Jack Schmitt (who also had part of his body outside): what did he see?
It turns out that other the Moon (for Apollo 15) and the Earth (thin crescent) for Apollo 17 (I don't know for A16), it was the blackest void imaginable: nothing but black sky!
Sometimes I wonder if that's what made Worden hasty.
