Guest: Alan Bean. Alan Bean, Apollo 12 Artist-Astronaut, was the guest for today's very special Space Show program. We started our discussion with Alan about when he developed his interest in art and if art and painting was often in his thoughts when he was in space, both on the Moon and on Skylab. During the program, Alan explained much about himself, his goals, and his space vision , and how his art expresses this and communicates with people of all ages.
