The three prime crewmen of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission participate in a preflight press conference in the Building 1 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. The box-like enclosure surrounding the three astronauts was part of elaborate precautions in effect to reduce the possibility of exposing the crewmen to infectious disease in the preflight period.

This photograph is the first in a sequence of pictures Neil Armstrong took of Buzz Aldrin carrying the EASEP out to the deployment site a short way south of the spacecraft. In this picture, he is walking across the raised rim of the small crater. Note the spray of dust spreading out in front of his left boot. The piece of equipment in his right hand is the LRRR, while the seismometer package is in his left hand. Note that, in this view from behind Buzz Aldrin, we are seeing his OPS antenna edge on. In lower-quality scans and prints, it all but disappears. A detail shows the two columns of horizontal Velcro strips on the back of his PLSS.

“Apollo 11 Astronauts (l - r), Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., Neil A. Armstrong and Michael Collins, smile & wave (Armstrong) through the window of the Mobile Quarantine Facility (MQF) aboard the USS Hornet following their recovery July 24, 1969. The crew splashed down at 12:50 p.m. EDT, 900 miles southwest of Hawaii at the completion of their historic lunar landing mission.”
The above is a cleaned up & paraphrased version of the ‘official’ caption for another similar onboard Hornet + 3 MQF photo.
A seldom (if ever?) seen version of the crew shortly after entering the MQF.
On July 20, 1969 Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first to walk on the Moon. This panorama of their landing site sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Moon's Sea of Tranquility, with their Lunar Module, the Eagle, in the background at the far left. East Crater, about 30 meters wide and 4 meters deep, is on the right (scroll right), and was so named because it is about 60 meters east of the Lunar Module. Armstrong had piloted the Eagle safely over the crater. Near the end of his stay on the lunar surface Armstrong strayed far enough from the Lunar Module to take the pictures used to construct this wide-angle view, his shadow appearing at the panorama's left edge. The object near the middle foreground is a stereo close-up camera.

Words of Neil Armstrong -- the first man on the moon, in an interview for the 40th anniversary of the moon landing -- just listened to it on CNN.
Just have to cut my Paris/France series momentarily for this stock photo I took sometime last year, for the 40th anniversary of the moon landings. 40 years ago today, July 20, 1969, the first humans walked on the moon. Apollo 11 completed its mission. One of the greatest achievements of mankind. The Apollo project would then have several more landings after it. I would be born only years after the last lunar landing(the Apollo 17 mission -- the last mission to land on the moon), but I grew up seeing photos and reading books about the moon landings. One of the reasons why aviation fascinated me. Maybe in my lifetime I would see a lunar landing live on TV, but maybe not, maybe it would be a Martian landing this time, but we'll never know if NASA would go back to the moon. But other countries would be ready to probably do it soon.
Here's to the 40th anniversary of the moon landing. A toast to the human's indomitable spirit.
Photo of the moon, 50 years (to the minute) from the point when Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon. Neil Armstrong: 02:56 UTC 21st July 1969. Photo: 02:56 UTC 21st July 2019. Photographed from Bathgate, Scotland.
Today, 50 years ago: ""That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."
It`s time to do it again...!
It has been fifty years since the first manned moon landing. Fifty years... I remember where I was, late at night, watching with my family gathered around the grainy picture on our small black & white television as that first small step for man was taken. Still for me, the moon remains a mystery, an inspiration and a timeless reminder of the universal mysteries. Perhaps I am too much the romantic; I value the memory of that night in 1969, but I think I value more the old way of my ancestors who held the moon in reverence and awe, who found mystery in the heavens. Diana, Máni, Mano, Kuu. Luna - I remember still.

Based upon a photo taken of Neil Armstrong on the surface of the moon for the Apollo 11 Moon landing mission.
The partial on the left side of this vignette is part of the lunar lander that you can see in the corner of the original photo.

July 20th, 1969: One giant leap for mankind.
A quick little vignette I made for the 47th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Although it's hard to tell from the lighting, the grey lunar rover on the left is made entirely of classic light grey pieces to add to the retro authenticity! The backdrop is of course my celestial matte painting called "The Moth Nebula", which I've created last winter.
The highlight of Yuri's Night for me was meeting Buzz Aldrin, the American astronaut who on the Apollo 11 lunar landing was the second person to set foot on the moon.

Am 20. Juli 1969 um 20:17:58 Uhr UTC vermeldete Neil Armstrong: „Houston, hier ist Tranquility Base. Der Adler ist gelandet!“
Damit hatte der Mensch erstmalig einen anderen Himmelskörper mit einer bemannten Mission erreicht.
Das LM mit Namen Eagle brachte Neil Armstrong und Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin auf den Mond.
Am 21. Juli 1969 um 02:56:20 UTC (in den USA war es noch der 20. Juli) betrat Neil Armstrong als erster Mensch den Mond und sprach die berühmten Worte:
"Das ist ein kleiner Schritt für einen Menschen, aber ein großer Sprung für die Menschheit!“

===============================================
At 20:17:58 UTC on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong said, “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed!”
This was the first time humans had reached another celestial body with a manned mission.
The LM named Eagle brought Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin to the moon.
On July 21, 1969 at 2:56:20 UTC (in the US, it was still July 20), Neil Armstrong was the first human to enter the moon and speak the famous words:
“That’s one small step for ‹a› man, one giant leap for mankind!”

The moon landing, 50 years ago (20 Jul 1969). Everyone is watching. This is a photo montage as you guessed but I thought this Californian Drive-In from my achieves is an appropriate was just an ideal foreground as I have not been to the moon (yet) ...haha

This is the gold replica of an olive branch, the traditional symbol of peace, left on the Moon's surface by Apollo 11 crewmembers. Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, placed the small replica (less than half a foot in length) on the Moon. The gesture represented a wish for peace for all mankind.

“HEADING HOME . . . The Apollo 11’s service propulsion system rocket engine, developed and built by Aerojet-General, Sacramento, fires to begin the homeward journey following man’s first walk on the moon.”
8.5” x 11”. On a slightly thicker card stock than commonly associated with or expected of a lithograph. The faint horizontal line along the bottom of the image & partially running vertically up from the lower right is just an annoying scanning artifact...of my brand !&@%?! new POS scanner.
Part of an Aerojet-General Corporation souvenir packet distributed by a Sacramento CBS affiliate, KXTV 10, in conjunction with its coverage of the Apollo 11 mission - “MAN ON THE MOON: THE EPIC JOURNEY OF APOLLO 11”.
The dramatic work is by Aerojet-General’s talented resident artist of the time, George Mathis, aka A. Tinker.
The Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr., and Michael Collins, wearing sombreros and ponchos, are swarmed by thousands in Mexico City as their motorcade is slowed by the enthusiastic crowd. The GIANTSTEP-APOLLO 11 Presidential Goodwill Tour emphasized the willingness of the United States to share its space knowledge. The tour carried the Apollo 11 astronauts and their wives to 24 countries and 27 cities in 45 days.

My tribute to NASA and the Apollo 11 lunar mission.
I bought this little spaceman bank in 1969 after the first moon walk. I was 12yrs old. Like everyone, I was transfixed by these events. I believe it was the first time I saw my dad cry.
1969 was a great year for me (other than the Beatles splitting or for Mary Jo Kopechne)
I met my future wife this year. Hard to believe it's been 40 yrs. Thanks babe.
Woodstock happened.
Movies; Midnight Cowboy, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Wild Bunch, Easy Rider, Anne of the Thousand Days came out.
Unemployment: was 3.6%
Mario Puzo's, The Godfather came out.

It's been a busy year for me, taking a more active role in my LUG and generally bringing about a renewed interest in System integration after a long interest in strictly Bionicle type builds. Pushed a lot of SNOT builds and designs (most WIPS didn't make it to photography stage), but all and all it's been a fun and creative year. Props to my mates David, Ylia and some badgering from Simon too for their input urging me to make stuff. Onto 2016!
Neil Armstrong took this picture of Buzz Aldrin during their initial inspection of the Lunar Module at about 055:41. Journal Contributor David Sander notes that "Buzz is wearing his intravehicular suit, a specially made set of garments designed to be as flame retardant as the rest of the ship, and made from the same fabric as the outer layer of the spacesuits".

Spectacular show on the National Mall last night. It's hard to describe how marvelously this was produced and put together. All of the iconic images from sitting and waiting for the launch, the countdown with the crowd, separation of the modules, the lander approach, the One Giant Step, escaping the lunar garvity, all the way back to splashdown. All projected on the Washington Monument, a roughly 1:7 screen ratio!
