Surveyor Lunar Roving Vehicle, phase I. Volume V - System evaluation Final technical report
http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntr..._1966004162.pdf -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

While I strongly doubt that Phil doesn't know this, the two definitive acccounts of the process by which scientifically interesting landing sites were selected over the course of the early Apollo program seem to be Don Wilhelms' "To A Rocky Moon" and William Compton's "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (which can be found at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/...4/contents.html ).
