“APOLLO 11 MOON PLAQUE---This is a replica of the plaque which the Apollo 11 astronauts will leave behind on the moon in commemoration of the historic event. The plaque is made of stainless steel, measuring nine by seven and five-eighths inches, and one-sixteenth inch thick. The plaque will be attached to the ladder on the landing gear strut of the descent stage of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module. Covering the plaque during flight will be a thin sheet of stainless steel which will be removed on the lunar surface.”

"I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

“Final systems checkout for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Lunar Module (LM-6) are conducted in the Open Bay Area of the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building (MSOB). The LM-6 will be flown on the first lunar landing mission, Apollo 11. The Flight Crew is Neil A. Armstrong, commander, Michael Collins, command module pilot, and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., Lunar Module Pilot.”
Obviously, no QC of the above text…at least WRT consistency, punctuation and vehicle identification. At least it’s a great photo.
From the 20th. Now it's been 50 years. Wow. I don't know what's come out in the way of posters to mark the event this time. The '89 poster was a beauty and it still hangs on my wall.
Charles M. Duke Jr. (CAPCOM), James A. Lovell Jr. and Fred W. Haise Jr. are pictured as they keep in contact with the Apollo 11 astronauts during their lunar landing mission on July 20, 1969.
After successfully landing on the Moon, Neil Armstrong reported, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." Duke responded: "Roger, Twank...Tranquility, we copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot!"

Edited Apollo 11 image of Buzz Aldrin saluting the US flag on the Moon.
Original caption: Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot of the first lunar landing mission, poses for a photograph beside the deployed United States flag during an Apollo 11 Extravehicular Activity (EVA) on the lunar surface. The Lunar Module (LM) is on the left, and the footprints of the astronauts are clearly visible in the soil of the Moon. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this picture with a 70mm Hasselblad lunar surface camera. While astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the LM, the "Eagle", to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Columbia" in lunar-orbit.

The deployment of the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP) is photographed by astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, Apollo 11 commander, during the crew extravehicular activity (EVA). Here, astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, is deploying the Passive Seismic Experiments Package (PSEP). Already deployed is the Laser Ranging Retro-Reflector (LR-3), which can be seen to the left and further in the background. In the center background is the Lunar Module. A flag of the United States is deployed near the LM. In the far left background is the deployed black and white lunar surface television camera. Armstrong took this picture with the 70mm lunar surface camera, also.

Per the ALSJ:
"...This picture gives us a good view of the split boulder that is between the two experiments. In the background, we can see the LM, the U.S. flag, and the TV camera. Note the footprints at the lower right. The astronaut who made them seems to have been moving from right to left. The rightmost footprint made with his left boot has a very deep toe imprint while the rightmost imprint made by his right boot is relatively flat and uniform. While bringing his left foot forward for the next step, he seems to have been dragging his heel, a clear indication that he was walking flat-foot, rather then hopping or running. The next left-boot toe print is deep while above it, we see that he was also scuffing his right heel along the surface. Note that the next prints made by both boots indicate that he turned to his right."

I marked the Apollo 11 landing site marked with an "x" in this iPhone 4S image taken April 6, 2014 through my Celestron NexStar 8SE telescope. #Apollo45
this is the actual apollo module that took 3 astronauts to the moon(thomas stafford,eugene cernan,john young) in 1969..call-sign "charlie brown"..it was the only part to return to earth,bringing all 3 astronauts safely into the pacific..on the base,it shows burns from re-entry..

"The US flag, deployed on the surface of the Moon, dominates this photograph taken from inside the LM. In the far background is the deployed black and white lunar surface television camera which televised the lunar surface extravehicular activity. The footprints are clearly visible around the flag and the camera. The shadow on the right of the flag just below the thruster comes from the SWC staff (solar wind collector)."

APOLLO 11 COMMAND MODULE HATCH
This is the hatch from the Apollo 11 Command Module. This single hatch could be opened outward in five seconds by pumping the handle to activate a pressurized nitrogen cylinder. Prior to the tragic fire in January 1967 in which three astronauts died, there were two hatches on the Apollo command module requiring 90 seconds to open.
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. Seen here at Helena, Montana.

Cover dated August 18, 1969 and containing pictures and articles about the Apollo 11 mission, now 50 years ago!
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.
