Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11)


Buzz Aldrin on board the LM Eagle during the outbound journey to the Moon, 16-24 July 1969

Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, numbered "NASA AS11-36-5398" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 25,4 x 20,3 cm, with a 5 cm restored diagonal tear at bottom right of white margin, left upper margin slightly bumped

Buzz Aldrin is seen communicating with Mission Control on Earth during the checkout of the LM Eagle docked to the CSM Columbia on the way to the Moon.

Apollo 11 was 178,236 nautical miles [330,093 km] from Earth

“In our preliminary flight plan I wasn’t scheduled to go to the LM until the next day in lunar orbit but I lobbied to go earlier [...] to make sure that the frail LM and its equipment had suffered no damage during the launch and long trip. [...]
It was surprising to me how much at home I felt in Eagle because of all the simulations we had done back home. The view of the Moon from the surface and the EVA itself have much less reality to me now than have those familiar operations inside Eagle.”
Buzz Aldrin (NASA SP-350, p.207 and LIFE, 22 August 1969)
