Sign by Apollo 14. It reads:
Apollo 14: Kitty Hawk
You are standing beside the actual Command Module piloted to the Moon by
astronauts Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, and Stuart Roosa and the Apollo 14
mission (January 31-February 9, 1971). Kitty Hawk and Roosa
remained in lunar orbit while Shepard and Mitchell descended to the Moon in the
Lunar Module Antares. The Lunar Module docked to Kitty Hawk's
nose; the heatshield on the ship's blunt base protected the crew during
atmosphere reentry.
Fifteen astronaut crews rode Apollo Command Modules into space - nine times to
the Moon, the rest to Earth orbit. They were:
