a11_v_bw_o_n (Armstrong and Aldrin, TV image)

Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong (in the background) Commander; and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. (on right), Lunar Module Pilot, are seen in this black and white reproduction taken from a telecast by the Apollo 11 lunar surface television camera during the Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity (EVA). This picture was made from a televised image received at the Deep Space Network tracking station at Goldstone, California. Armstrong is working at the Modular(ized) Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA) of the Lunar Module (LM). In the foreground, Aldrin is conducting a mobility test, during which he tried different methods of locomotion, relaying his observations and evaluations of each back to Mission Control in Houston.

 

The photograph is from the following segment of his mobility testing, which appeared to literally be running and stopping abruptly:
