From an equipment bay on the other side of the LM, the busy spacemen will remove EASEP (for Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Payload). They will set up one part of the package?a laser-beam reflector?some 70 ft. from the LM. The other experiment, a seismometer for measuring moonquakes and meteor impacts, will be placed 10 ft. farther away. Both will be left on the moon for the benefit of earthbound scientists (see following section...
...recoup some of their losses, left-wing Socialists start making overtures to the Communists again.

One tourist last week asked his wife whether she did not remember seeing the place in ruins five years ago, and insisted: "They've done a wonderful job of restoration...
