Very interesting replies everyone!
But let's not forget the crew of Apollo 9. If something had gone wrong during the very first test of the Lunar Module in orbit, albeit in Earth's orbit, then we would not have set foot upon the Moon before the decade was out.
Three cheers for Jim, Rusty and Dave! |

But the truth is it wasn't an oversight that there were no photographs taken of Armstrong on the Moon -- it was planned that way. No, this isn't a conspiracy theory, but rather almost every photograph was scheduled and trained for on Earth. NASA rehearsed exactly when and where each astronaut would have control of the only camera -- and Aldrin was only scheduled to have it for a series of panoramas.
And if you check out this image from one of Buzz's panoramas (standing stationary and taking pictures around the horizon) you will see Neil lurking in the shadow of the LM. This has been said to be the only photograph of Neil on the surface (all others being images from film or video). Photo #AS11-40-5886
