Florida turf, moon practice

This doesn't look much like the moon, but the Kennedy Space Center terrain will have to do as a stand-in for the moon's Hadley-Apennine region for astronaut David Scott, commander of the Apollo 15 mission, who practices using a battery-powered lunar surface drill in July 1971. A lunar rover vehicle is parked behind him, to the right side of this image.
