Noticing that the topic of "moon walkers with the visor up" from time to time pops up here on the BABB, I just wanted to say that there is an entire webpage by John Whisenhunt dedicated to this topic:

Also, back in 2001 sci.space.history had these entries:
http://tinyurl.com/7ruqe ""IIRC, during Apollo 17 one of the U.S. broadcast networks (possibly NBC) even did a short feature story on a nightly newscast mentioning that "the man on the moon finally had a face." "I remember one quick shot during Apollo 17 when Gene Cernan grabbed the camera to brush the lens, and when he pulled it over to point straight at him, his visor was up. After he brushed the lens, you could see his lips form the words "How's that?" and then he smiled." "OK -- I just got the Apogee Books Mission Report series entry for Apollo 15 (labeled Volume I, I notice with interest). I was just watching one the .mpg movies of the beginning of EVA-1, and noticed that after Dave Scott went up the ladder to help talk Irwin through the hatch, he came down with his visor up. You get a brief glimpse of his face and snoopy helmet; after he turns around and heads back out of the LM's shadow, he stops for a moment and, even though his back is to the camera, you can see that he's stopped to lower his visor." |
