 Half a century ago today, Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. Some years ago I used Armstrong's photos AS11-40-5863 to 69 to create a wide view of Buzz Aldrin coming down the ladder. Armstrong did not capture the top rear of the LM with these pictures, so I filled the gap with a portion of AS11-44-6576, which was taken in orbit after undocking. The Sun is a Photoshop effect. Unfortunately this mosaic is often used by Moon hoaxers to prove that it was all fake. (Note that this is Photo of the Week 7/69.  ) |
