• A character (a man with glasses and a beard, wearing a headset) speaks into a microphone at a desk, looking at a computer screen.
• The text reads: "OKAY, LUNAR RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER, WE'VE GOT YOU LOCKED ON THE APOLLO 17 LANDING SITE."

Panel 2:

• The character continues speaking, leaning slightly forward with excitement.
• The text reads: "NOW, WE CAN SEE WHERE THE LAST MEN ON THE MOON ROVED. WHERE GENE CERNAN PUT JUST A FEW MORE RUTS IN THE REGOLITH, KNOWING FULL WELL NOBODY WOULD SEE THIS PLACE FOR A LONG LONG TIME. THE PLACE WHERE HARRISON SCHMITT WANDERED THROUGH…"
