Historical image taken during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Here is another version of Earthrise. In the past, we reprocessed the Earthrise from the Apollo 8 mission using our artificial intelligence model. Here the photo is dated 20 July 1969. You can clearly see the lunar surface and a beautiful Earthrise on the horizon. It is the Smythii Sea region. This image was taken before the separation of the LM and Command Module during the Apollo 11 mission. The original film magazine was labelled V. Film type: S0-368 Color taken with a 250mm lens. The latitude of the main point was 3 North and the longitude 86 East. Australia on Earth is clearly distinguishable. The result is an image of 30000x30000 pixels (900 million pixels total).

Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins & Buzz Aldrin; the first men on the moon. They were heroes to Daniel In 'The Astronot' (bit.ly/AstroTumblr).
This amazing 64m Radio Telescope in Parkes, NSW, was - among many other great feats - the one to receive the historic broadcast from Neil Armstrong as Apollo 11 landed on the Moon and relay it to the rest of the world.
“Apollo 11 Plaque with a simple four-line inscription will be left of the Moon by the astronauts after they land there July 20. It will be fastened between the third and fourth rungs of the ladder on the Lunar Module’s Descent Stage, which the astronauts will leave behind when they take off July 21 to return to the earth.”
During the Apollo 11 mission, Magazine U was used in the command module by Michael Collins for black and white photography of the lunar surface during the July 1969 mission. Hasselblad cameras and magazines, selected for their reliability and high quality, were used on all lunar missions.

NASA PHOTO: A11-405872-74. NASA Apollo Lunar Surface journal : Apollo11, Sea of Tranquility, 20 July 1969, frames A11-40-5872 and A11-40-5874. On July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon. Their moon walk lasted about 2h30 during which Buzz Aldrin deployed the Solar Wind Collector (SWC), a foil sheet which he is pointing at the Sun and than the flag. Note the word 'Shade' printed on the bottom of the back side. The word 'Sun' is printed on the sunward side. Buzz then saluted the U.S. Flag. His fingertips are visible on the far side of his faceplate. The panorama created with these two frames make Buzz Aldrin appear twice, frame A11-40-5874 was taken approximatly 7 minutes after frame A11-40-5872.

The Apollo 11 Command Module, "Columbia," was the living quarters for the three-person crew during most of the first crewed lunar landing mission in July 1969. On July 16, 1969, Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins were launched from Cape Kennedy atop a Saturn V rocket. This Command Module, no. 107, manufactured by North American Rockwell, was one of three parts of the complete Apollo spacecraft. The other two parts were the Service Module and the Lunar Module, nicknamed "Eagle." The Service Module contained the main spacecraft propulsion system and consumables while the Lunar Module was the two-person craft used by Armstrong and Aldrin to descend to the Moon's surface on July 20. The Command Module is the only portion of the spacecraft to return to Earth.
It was physically transferred to the Smithsonian in 1971 following a NASA-sponsored tour of American cities. The Apollo CM Columbia has been designated a "Milestone of Flight" by the Museum.

Description: In preparation of the nation's first lunar landing mission, Apollo 11 crew members underwent training to practice activities they would be performing during the mission. In this photograph, astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin, donned in his space suit, gets in more time under weightless conditions aboard a KC-135 aircraft from the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The Apollo 11 mission launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida via the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) developed Saturn V launch vehicle on July 16, 1969 and safely returned to Earth on July 24, 1969. Aboard the space craft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module (CM) pilot; and Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module (LM) pilot. The CM, "Columbia", piloted by Collins, remained in a parking orbit around the Moon while the LM, "Eagle", carrying astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin, landed on the Moon. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong was the first human to ever stand on the lunar surface, followed by Aldrin. During 2½ hours of surface exploration, the crew collected 47 pounds of lunar surface material for analysis back on Earth. With the success of Apollo 11, the national objective to land men on the Moon and return them safely to Earth had been accomplished.

“The plaque that Apollo 11 Commander Neil A. Armstrong will unveil on the lunar surface, is protected during flight by a stainless steel covering, in foreground. It is attached to the lunar module’s ladder, between the third and fourth rungs from the bottom. Its goodwill message is signed by President Richard M. Nixon and Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. The stainless steel plaque measures 9 inches by 7 5/8 inches and has a brushed chrome finish appearance. It will remain on the Moon’s surface, attached to the lunar module descent stage ladder.”
I don't think I've ever seen this photograph, in "hard-copy", in color, even in shifted, faded color...like this one. Also, although there's no watermark, it has the look/feel of the "A KODAK PAPER" of the time.

“NASA APOLLO 11 EXHIBIT VAN AT CARSON CITY, NEVADA -- The mobile exhibit van is scheduled for a tour of the nation’s 50 state capitals during 1970 and early 1971. The van will carry the Apollo 11 capsule, the spacecraft that carried the first men from Earth to set foot on the Moon. One of the principal features of the exhibit will be a Moon rock collected on the lunar surface by Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin. The big touring display unit measures 40 feet long and 14 feet wide. During its stay in each state capital, the van opens out to accommodate a walk-through ramp in each side, permitting thousands of visitors to see its exhibits daily. The Heavy Specialized Carriers Conference, affiliated with the American Trucking Associations, Inc., will provide the specialized transportation required by the Apollo 11 tour. Member companies of the conference will conduct the trip without charge as a public service.”
U-N-T-H-I-N-K-A-B-L-E today. Even in retrospect, probably not the smartest idea, but for far different reasons.
That guard/police officer was probably one of five…or less.
And we continue to descend.

Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. It was the fifth human spaceflight of the Apollo program, and the third human voyage to the moon. Launched on July 16, 1969, it carried Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin. On July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon, while Collins orbited above.
The mission fulfilled President John F. Kennedy's goal of "landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth" by the end of the 1960s.

This is my photograph of a Giclée print of an Alan Bean painting. It is based on Neil Armstrong's famous photo of Buzz Aldrin from the Apollo 11 Moon landing.
Bean was the Lunar Module Pilot on the Apollo 12 mission, but he was also a space artist. He used tools from the mission to add texture to his paintings.
The limited edition print was published by the Greenwich Workshop and may be purchased in the UK through www.moonpans.com .

Full Description: Millions of people on Earth watched via television as a message for all mankind was delivered to the Mare Tranquilitatis (Sea of Tranquility) region of the Moon during the historic Apollo 11 mission, where it still remains today. This commemorative plaque, attached to the leg of the Lunar Module (LM), Eagle, is engraved with the following words: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon July, 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all of mankind." It bears the signatures of the Apollo 11 astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module (CM) pilot; and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., Lunar Module (LM) pilot along with the signature of the U.S. President Richard M. Nixon. The Apollo 11 mission launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida via the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) developed Saturn V launch vehicle on July 16, 1969 and safely returned to Earth on July 24, 1969.

...Well at least it was back on the 1970's. Taken from the USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier now docked in Alameda, CA. The Carrier has a storied past - most notably as a participant in the Doolittle raid on Japan in 1942 as well as for being the ship that picked up the Apollo 11 astronauts.
This vehicle permit allowed astronaut Charlie Duke and his family access to the NASA VIP viewing site at the Kennedy Space Center for the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969. It is part of my personal collection of spaceflight memorabilia.
Duke is one of only twelve men who have walked on the surface of the moon. His trip to the moon was on Apollo 16 which flew in April 1972. Apollo 16 was the 5th of only 6 lunar landing missions.
Prior to Apollo 16, however, Duke played a pivotal role in the first lunar landing mission, Apollo 11. He holds the distinction of being the first person to initiate a conversation with a person on another world. During the Apollo 11 mission, Duke held the position of CapCom (Capsule Communicator) at the Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas. If you watched the Apollo 11 landing live on TV or if you have watched the footage since, you have undoubtedly heard Charlie Duke. Just after the lunar module Eagle had landed on the surface of the moon, Duke radioed to the crew the following words “We copy you down, Eagle”, indicating that telemetry data screens in Mission Control had signaled that the spacecraft had safely landed. Back on the moon, Neil Armstrong responded to Duke’s query with the words “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”
