Actually got a combo of two different images (at least) going on there in the background. The Earth is from the famous "Earthrise" photo taken by the crew of Apollo 8 (the first mission to travel to the moon, although with no landing). The surface image is from the Taurus-Littrow valley during the Apollo 17 mission, the final lunar mission. So whether they planned it that way or not, they've got a combination of the first and (to this point) last lunar voyages in their panorama.
What it says about me that I knew exactly where those pictures came from on first glance, we shan't talk about. :^)
Always wanted to visit the Museum of the Rockies, but haven't made it yet. On a couple of trips it was a "rainy day" option, but there was never a rainy enough day to make us say we needed to abandon the park. Someday.
