I'll have to go with Aldrin's classic pose, although any lunar EVA photo would do. Schmitt's photo at Split Rock is also a nice one.Regards, Bill uzzi69 |

One of my favorites is Dave Scott saluting the flag, with Mt. Hadley in the background and Falcon off to the side. |

This is a great topic. So many amazing images! I've always been most fascinated by the photos of the Gemini 6 and 7 Rendezvous. The images themselves are incredibly beautiful, but also represent one of the most momentous events in space history. Learning that rendezvous could be done made all the rest possible.
Regards,
Mike

A shot of any one of the LEM's pulling
away from the Command Module as they
prepare for their descent to the Lunar
surface!! An ugly machine (the LEM), but
a very capable and wonderfully engineered
spacecraft!! Paul  |

One of my all time favourites is the historical photo of Deke Slayton and Alexei Leonov shaking hands as they orbited the Earth. Back in 1975 this really was an historical act. Something I think alot of the youngsters today would find hard to understand.Jacqueline PS...oh yes I also like ALL the moonlanding photos too!!!!! |

Schmitt with the flag and Earth - it's been the wallpaper on my PC since I bought one of the NASA lithos and scanned it in (nearly 2 years). |

One of my favourites is Young during his second EVA,he is replacing tools back into the carrier on the LRV,Smokey Mountain is in the back ground and is a B&W picture PLUS apollo 8 earthrise/Aldrin visor are classics.I could start listing quite a few more when I come to think of it but more the B&W shots from Apollo 15-17 missions grab my attention as they show more detail. |

I agree that this is nearly an impossible question to answer with a single picture. If I had a large office wall to use (similar to the walls you see in a congressional member's office), it would be packed with numerous photos, including* each Moonwalker with the U.S. flag (using the one of Armstrong at the LM)(no idea what to do for Bean)
* several of Ed White's walk in space
* Al Shepard's Mercury Redstone launch
* the double exposure of GT-6 and GT-7 launches
* GT-7 from GT-6 (love those photos)
* Apollo 1 informal pose at the Cape
* various Saturn V rollouts
* Apollo 8's Earthrise
* Apollo 11 footprint photo
* Apollo 11's (Collin's) photo of the upper stage of the LM approaching Columbia
* Apollo 17's night launch
* Apollo 17 recovery with carrier in background
* various lunar landscape photos
* STS-26 launch
* Columiba's first launch
* other shuttle launches
* a whole section dedicated shuttle era EVA's
* the ISS at various stages On a second wall, a single photo of Mars with the caption under it of "When?"

EarthriseOkay, now for a comment... that STS-26 launch while it was significant taking us back to space, it was also a real beaut! I just printed a couple of those launch photos and the clouds etc are absolutely stunning. When I saw that one listed above I just had to pipe up about it. Now, in that vein, perhaps the Apollo 7 launch. It was a back to space launch after Apollo 1. Plus it was the opening scene in the last act of the play that would lead us to stepping foot on the Moon. ------------------
Warm Regards Douglas Henry Enjoy yourself and have fun.... it is only a hobby! |
