Alan Bean Programs

Astronaut - Apollo and Skylab Missions:
Alan Bean, Apollo 12 lunar module pilot, became the fourth man in history to set foot on the moon. As commander of Skylab mission II, he lived 59 days in space, 270 miles above planet Earth. Under his leadership, his crew accomplished 150% of their pre-mission goals - a record unsurpassed before or since. During his career, Alan helped establish 11 world records in aeronautics and space. He tailors each speech around the theme of the client's event and the goals the client wishes to emphasize.

Says Bean, " I want to help the audience feel that they too can accomplish the challenges and dreams of their own lives and professions... That each of us can reach for our own stars... to understand that each of us can reach for our own stars... to understand that they are not light years distant but as close as our workplace, our home, and our family." After his perestentations, he will personalize 75 mini-prints of one of this paintings providing audience members the opportunity to talk with Captain Bean.

Apollo : An Eyewitness Account By Astronaut/Explorer Artist/Moonwalker
"Al Bean and Andy Chaikin portray in paintings and text the true life adventure of an astronaut exploring the wonders of the moon." James A. Lovell

In Apollo, Alan Bean and his astroartistry recreate the drama and excitement of man's exploration of the moon as could only be chronicled by one who had been there." Neil Armstrong

What one must understand about Al Bean is he is the only artist to have ever walked on the moon. No poet has ever been to the lunar surface, nor any journalist, architect nor songwriter. In the realm of the Arts it has fallen upon Al Bean to be the one moonwalker to turn hard data brought back from the moon into something other than numbered photographs, The images that Al has committed to canvas, them, are important, inspiring, and priceless works of art, Not only has he painted the moon, he's been there."
