Neil Armstrong (Apollo 11)
Little West Crater, the spectacular crater avoided during the first lunar landing, 16-24 July 1969
Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based paper, printed 1969, numbered "NASA AS11-40-5956" (NASA MSC) in red in top margin, with "A KODAK PAPER" watermark on verso, 20,3 x 25,4 cm
Armstrong’s solitary exploration of Little West Crater was not scheduled and the rim of this crater was the farthest point traversed on Apollo 11.
“I went the farthest. While Buzz was returning from the EASEP, I went back to a big crater behind us. It was a crater that I’d estimate to be 70 or 80 feet in diameter and 15 or 20 feet deep. I went back to take some pictures of that ; it was between 200 and 300 feet from the LM. I ran there and ran back because I didn’t want to spend much time doing that, but it was no trouble to make that kind of a trek – a couple of hundred feet or so. It just took a few minutes to lope back there, take those pictures, and then come back.”
