A frame from Jim Irwin's panoramic photography sequence taken from a position north of the LM. The dramatic tilt of the spacecraft is quite evident.

In 1964 my late father, Beaudry Glen Pautz, accepted a job as Press Officer for the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in Pretoria, South Africa. It was the start of the Cold War "space race", the CSIR collaborated with the Americans and Beau received a lot of space programme material and press kits from NASA. I still have most of those historic documents in my collection. Here's a selection of them.
I captured this particular image in low light, using a phone camera, so please excuse the quality!
Also see this great piece on Time Magazine's special issue entitled "To the Moon and Back" published two weeks after the Apollo 11 landing. Back in 1969 I created a great scrapbook of the landing that I still treasure to this day.

“APOLLO 10 TV VIEW OF THE MOON------A view of the rim of Hypatia I on the lunar nearside is seen in this color reproduction taken from a telecast made by the color television camera aboard the Apollo 10 spacecraft as it orbited the moon. The area shown in this picture is located at 0 degrees 00 minutes latitude (on the lunar equator), and 21 degrees 30 minutes east longitude. Also, Rima Hypatia I is located just southwest of Apollo Landing Site 2. The transmission of this view was received in Houston past midnight, early Saturday morning, May 24, 1969.”
Photo is oriented with North generally toward the top.

LRV traverse from Station 5 to the Lunar Module, which is located above and slightly to the left of the television camera. Geophone Rock is further to the left, near the High-Gain Antenna handle/boom.
Shortly after landing, Aldrin got the camera from Armstrong and took a five-frame panorama - this being the last one of that - out his own window, looking toward the northwest.

Early (1961) full-scale Surveyor model at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory...festooned, bristling even, with a host of cool instruments & experiments - most never to be incorporated - like a neutron activator, lunar drill, slowly driven geophysical probe...probably even a Deutronium-fueled flux capacitor...coupled with an advanced Dilithium-impregnated Corbomite core.
7" x 9".
Odd press slug on the verso. "GAP FILLER"...huh/WTF?
Great labeled version of a similar photo, and, as usual, a very well written article at:

"This photograph shows how Krafft A. Ehricke pictures man going to the moon by nuclear rocket. The manned payload hangs 1000 feet below the nuclear power plant after having been boosted from Earth into space by a chemical rocket. Upon reaching the Moon, the nuclear rocket is set down some distance from where the capsule lands. This arrangement protects the crew from the radiation of the nuclear rocket. (Convair, General Dynamics Corp.)"
The book presents the best information, ideas and assumptions on the conquest of the moon as of 1958. The authors, who were experts on missiles and space flight, tell how the moon would be approached, first with instrumented probes and then with man himself as a payload. Fascinating conjectures, based on the latest scientific findings, show what life on the moon might be like, how men would build a base there, how they would explore the moon, and how they would push on from there to further explorations of outer space.

This illustration was released August 2, 1961, by the Martin company which, at the time, had a contract to study "earth-moon transportation possibilities". Because the Moon's gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth, 10-feet leaps were "believed possible".
Leaving landing gear and used descent stage behind, LEM's ascent stage blasts off the moon for a rendezvous with the orbiting Apollo.

From the phenomenal ALSJ site: "Gene took this photo on the orbit before final descent. On the final approach, Gene flew Challenger down over the Sculptured Hills (low, knobby hills in sunlight just right of frame center) and out over the valley floor before landing a little north of the Trident group of craters. The CSM with Ron Evans can be seen in the left distance with the South Massif in the background. Henry is the furthermost of the three largish craters at the foot of the North Massif to the right." The labeled version: www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/a17.22465lbl.jpg identifies a few other features.
