Comment

(... the engraving was not of a landing per se - it depicted an EVA (extra vehicular activity) with a Lunar Roving Vehicle, but we know there was no LRV - moon car for the Astronauts' longer surface excursions which accompanied only the last three Apollo missions - Apollo's 15, 16 and 17).
