I saved this meme in 2013, and a full decade later I learned that its real title is “Is Anyone Out There?”

It was painted by Alan Bean, the fourth astronaut to walk on the moon.

And it still makes a darn good meme. (Even if astronauts do have bits of Velcro in their helmets for exactly this reason.)

alan “al” bean (1932 - 2018), apollo 12 astronaut, artist, 4th man to walk on the moon.

“You know, people romanticize the moon. But I’ve been there and I can tell you it’s mostly black dirt. But I want it to be the most beautiful black dirt that’s ever been painted in the history of art.”

hallmarks of bean’s style include his impressionistic use of color and the stamped texture of moon boots (similar to the pair he wore on the apollo 12 mission: the original pair was left on the moon). he also would incorporate moon dust into his paintings, which he collected from the dusty patches from his space suit which he kept after the mission.

in order: hello universe (2003); we all had stars in our eyes (2011); remembrances of a moonwalk: self-portrait with earth (1984); NASA img AS12-4907242, Al’s boot prints and the Hand Tool Carrier (HTC); Al Bean’s Lunar boots, a window on the end of an era (2010); that’s how it felt to walk on the moon (1986); reaching for the stars (1997); our world at my fingertips (2005); is anyone out there? (2004).

all paintings here. nasa’s images from apollo 12 here. a 2009 interview with bean about his art here.

#alan bean #space #man idk what to tag this. i’m just so into his work and i wanted it on my blog #art #apollo 12 #all of his interviews have this odd quality of being like. kind of magical and kind of devastating

Pete Conrad & Alan Bean train for an upcoming lunar landing via Apollo 12. The Nov 1969 moon landing was the second in the Apollo Program. The 3rd & 4th men on the moon spent 31 hours on the lunar surface while Command Module Pilot Richard Gordon orbited above. The mission saw an increased focus on geological training than A11. Another difference between the 2 missions were that hammocks were installed in the Lunar Module so Bean & Conrad could have a more comfortable stay with the spacecraft than Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin had during Apollo 11.

Since that time, I have not complained about the weather once single time. I’m glad there is weather. I’ve not complained about traffic, I’m glad there’s people around… boy we’re lucky to be here. Why do people complain about the earth? We are living in the Garden of Eden.

-Alan Bean, Apollo 12
