Tracy's Rock from Apollo 17 EVA3 reconstructed in 3d
« on: October 11, 2015, 12:08:06 PM »
Hi all,
I took a shot at using some of the original film scans, recently uploaded to Flickr, to try to reconstruct the Tracy's Rock boulder. Have a look:



Here's a picture of the boulder in question:

Wow - that's pretty damned impressive work!

Have you had a look at the LRV TV footage? It shows the other side of it  - though obviously not in as high a resolution.

Boy...those NASA hoaxers sure went into a lot of detail, didn't they? Imagine the thought and planning that went into this series of images, especially given that they couldn't have imagined that ordinary people would have access to such visualisation tools in the future. It'd probably would have been easier to just go to the Moon and photo the rock!  ::)


A great piece of work..thanks for sharing it!
