The seventh day of the Lunar year, is named Scott after the seventh human being who set foot on the Moon's surface; David R. Scott.
Commander Scott stepped down from the LM ladder onto the Moon at 3-02-03 ∇ 04:10 LST.
Scott made his third space flight as spacecraft commander of Apollo 15, the fourth manned lunar landing mission, which lasted from 3-01-28 ∇ to 3-02-10 ∇, Lunar reckoning. At the end of the last EVA, Scott performed a live demonstration for the television cameras. He held out a geologic hammer and a feather and dropped them at the same time. Because they were essentially in a vacuum, there was no air resistance and the feather fell at the same rate as the hammer, as Galileo had concluded hundreds of years before - all objects released together fall at the same rate regardless of mass.
Scott was also command module pilot for Apollo 9, as well as backup spacecraft commander for Apollo 12.
