Sign by an Apollo 14 hand controller. It read:


Shepard - Mercury to the Moon

Alan Shepard's Mercury-Redstone 3 flight on May 5, 1961, was the catalyst for President Kennedy's bold goal of an American on the moon. Ten years later, Shepard became the only Mercury astronaut to reach the Moon, commanding Apollo 14.

Shepard used this hand control stick to pilot the Lunar Module Antares to a smooth touchdown at Fra Mauro.
