Conrad also removed Surveyor's TV camera; a study of its "aging" could help in the design...

But the design is still a spectacular achievement. From the air it may look like a king-size mattress pad, but from ground level the thing it most resembles is a moon crater roofed over with a shallow, translucent dome. The pavilion covers an oval area approximately the size of two football fields. Its solid, earth-filled walls...
