In hindsight, this back-up plan for carrying the LCRU probably wouldn't have been necessary but it was actually used. During Apollo 17 EVA-2, Gene Cernan noticed that he had forgotten to re-aim the low-gain antenna, meaning they had been communicating with Houston via a signal from Gene's backpack to the Lunar Module and onward to Earth, rather than via the low-gain antenna. Despite the fact that they were over 4 miles from the Lunar Module and without a line-of-sight there is no noticeable difference in the recorded communications during this traverse segment compared with other periods when their communication was going directly to Earth via the low-gain antenna. Moon Man Publishing "Inventing Apollo" The Artwork of James Burns This exclusive collection of James Burns artwork reveals the lunar landing and lunar exploration in a way never before seen by the public. Moon Man Publishing's Founder Alan Scalone's father, Sam Scalone, worked with James Burns at RCA on the Apollo Moon Mission Projects. Sam as one of the mechanical engineers and James as the concept artist worked hand in hand with the engineering team to invent and design the equipment that would ultimately be built and used on the Apollo Moon landing missions and other NASA space programs. These drawings were used in the top secret meetings where NASA decided to approve or not approve funding to build the equipment seen in the artwork. The outcome of these meetings and James's drawings determined how man would go to the Moon, the equipment they would use, and the very creation of the communications equipment that allowed the world to witness man’s first steps on the Moon. Concept art created of the actual equipment used on the Moon, drawn BEFORE the equipment was ever even made yet! Extremely rare and unique artwork!
