Title: Astronaut James Irwin keeps Lunar Roving Vehicle from sliding downhill
Description:
Astronaut James B. Irwin, lunar module pilot, holds the Lunar Roving
Vehicle  from sliding downhill during the second Apollo 15 lunar surface 
extravehicular activity. Apparently, both of the Rover's rear wheels are
off  the ground. The Rover was parked facing downhill on a 15 to 20 degree
slope.  Astronaut David R. Scott, commander, took this photograph. Scott
was  performing other tasks while Irwin held the Rover. They were parked at
a  "fresh" crater on the Apennine Front (Hadley Delta Mountain) slope. In
the  foreground a lunar rake lies atop a mound.
