Buzz Aldrin wore this outer helmet while on the surface of the moon, fitted over his clear pressure-bubble helmet. His gloves are made of cut-resistent fabric and gauntlets to protect against solar heating. The fingertips were made of silicone rubber for added sensitivity. This was one of the displays at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.

I don’t know why I think this, especially since I can’t find anything to support it, but I think Ms. Hopkins was secretary to at least one of the Apollo Astronauts. Specifically, Jim McDivitt.

The Australian Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, meeting Buzz Aldrin, Lunar Module pilot for Apollo 11, first crewed landing on the Moon, at Australia's Parliament House, in Canberra.
We were there during a three-night speaking tour "Mars -The Live Experience", in support of National Geographic's Mars series. We spoke in Melbourne, Sydney, and Canberra.
Buzz is explaining why he wears two watches on one wrist-band: it's a long story, so I took the opportunity to take a quick panorama of the scene :-)

The hatch door from the Apollo 11 command module Columbia. NASA completely redesigned the hatch after the fatal Apollo 1 fire. To ensure a quick escape, astronauts could use the large pump handle on the left and open it from inside the capsule within seconds. This was one of the images on display at the St. Louis Science Center exhibit.

Bricktropolis returns to Sheffield for a second year, this time with a space theme to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing!
Lego models of Neil Armstrong, Yuri Gagarin, even C3PO, as well as the Saturn V rocket, the Lunar Lander and Mars Curiosity Rover can all be seen, and more!, in a new trail across Sheffield city centre, August 2019.
“APOLLO 11 NEWS CONFERENCE----The three prime crewmen of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission participate in a pre-flight press conference in the Building Auditorium on July 5, 1969. Left to right, are Astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot; and Michael Collins, command module pilot. Aldrin displays the Apollo 11 emblem. Armstrong shows the type of plaque which they will leave behind on the moon in commemoration of the historic event--man setting foot upon the moon for the first time. During the conference elaborate protections were in effort to reduce the possibility of exposing the crewmen to infectious disease in the pre-flight period.”

Apollo 11 was the first lunar landing mission, consisting of Neil Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins. On July 20th 1969, the lunar module touched down in what is known as the Sea of Tranquility and Neil Armstrong said the famous words:
Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.
A few hours later, Armstrong became the first man on the moon and said the even more famous phrase:
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

I have met Buzz Aldrin a couple of times. This photo was taken in 2009. He flew on the Gemini 12 and Apollo 11 missions. He was the second person to walk on the moon.

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:

And I'm sure it's somewhere in here as well:
With the descent module largely complete I added the landing radar array and it's associated heat shield and plated-in the underside of the module to give the stepped appearance of the original.

The Congressional Gold Medal is an award bestowed by Congress and is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom the highest civilian award in the United States. The decoration is awarded to an individual who performs an outstanding deed or act of service to the security, prosperity, and national interest of the United States. Photo Credit: (NASA/Paul E.

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.

It flew to and orbited the Moon during that historic mission. The foil in general burned off during reentry, but some sections still remained after splashdown and were given out to NASA workers.
As well as reverse-engineering his design for the front of the module, I have made a few other alterations, tweaking some of the ascent module's proportions, adding some more colour contrast patches and changing the shape and position of the manoeuvring thrusters and antennae.
I didn't make very many original changes to the descent module. The main one was to change the standard propellant and oxidiser tanks to slightly larger domed tanks in a more correct colour.
Astronaut Michael Collins - Apollo 11 Command Module. Selected as part of the third group of NASA Astronauts in 1963, Collins flew in space twice. His first spaceflight was Gemini 10, when he and command pilot John W. Young performed two rendezvous with different spacecraft and Collins undertook two EVAs. His second spaceflight was Apollo 11 where he served as the command module pilot. While he orbited the Moon, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin performed the first manned landing on the lunar surface. Michael Collins is one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon.
During his day of solo flying around the Moon, Collins said he never felt lonely. Although it had been said that "not since Adam has any human known such solitude", Collins felt very much a part of the mission. He wrote that "this venture has been structured for three men, and I consider my third to be as necessary as either of the other two". During the 48 minutes of each lunar orbit that he was out of radio contact with Earth, the feeling was not loneliness, but an "awareness, anticipation, satisfaction, confidence, almost exultation."
“TRW Incorporated's artist concept depicting the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) descending to the surface of the moon. Inside the LM will be astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander, and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot. Astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, will remain with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) in lunar orbit. TRW's LM descent engine will brake Apollo 11's descent to the lunar surface. The throttle-able rocket engine will be fired continuously the last 10 miles of the journey to the moon, slowing the LM to a speed of two miles per hour at touchdown. TRW Incorporated designed and built the unique engine at Redondo Beach, California under subcontract to the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, Bethpage, New York, the LM prime contractor.”

The beautiful work, featured as the front and back cover, in a wrap-around fashion, of the Summer/Fall 1969 edition of the “TRW SPACE LOG”, confirms it to be that of John Desatoff, resident TRW graphic design artist/illustrator.
Not surprisingly, Mr. Desatoff's works were featured in a 1968 Smithsonian Institute traveling museum/exhibition entitled “Exploring Space: Paintings by John Desatoff,” which now reside in the Institution's archives.
