VK Science Editor of The News Houston, July 20 Two men landed on the moon today and for more than two hours walked its forbidding surface in mankind's first exploration of an alien world. In the most incredible adventure in human history, these men coolly established earth's first outpost in the universe, sending back an amazing panorama of views to millions of awed TV viewers.

And it required us to plunk down in P-66 (nonautomatic flight) and fly in manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area. We'll get to the details of what's around here, but it looks like a collection of just about every variety of shape, angularity, granularity, and every variety of rock you could find.

The colors, well, it varies pretty much depending on how you're looking relative to the There doesn't appear to be too much of a general color at all; however, it looks as though some of the rocks and boulders, of which there are quite a few in the near area, it looks as though they're going to have some interesting colors to them.
