Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Moonwalker1954: [b]...author of "First Man" James Hansen,[/b][/QUOTE] In reference to "First Man" (Hansen) here are Armstrong's own thoughts on the issue: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]I don't think Buzz had any reason to take my picture, and it never occurred to me that he should. I have always said that Buzz was the far more photogenic of the crew... We always had a plan for when were going to transfer the camera. He was going to take some pictures, and I was going to take some. And I think roughly we did it approximately like the plan called for in terms of the camera transfer. I had the camera for a large fraction of the time and I had more assigned photographic responsibilities, but Buzz did have the camera some of the time and did take pictures. It was in the flight plan.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> "First Man" goes on to describe other photographs taken by Aldrin and it puts the "controversy" to rest by the following on page 509: <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]To be fair, all of the photos Buzz took were planned photo tasks of his; taking a picture of Neil was not part of them.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
