Description
Jack Schmitt bounds over to the Orange soil sample declaring "fantastic sports fans". He asks Gene if he can see it. And declares "how can there be orange soil on the moon....It's been oxidised. It looks like an oxidised desert soil." Camera zooms in past a metal pole to see Jack kneeling down at the site. Gene is closer to the camera on the left and steps across the shot and out of view.
