 The photo of a smiling Neil Armstrong inside the LM Eagle after completing the first moonwalk on July 20, 1969, is well-known. Less well-known is this similar photo of Buzz Aldrin, which was taken by Armstrong a few moments later. The idea was apparently to get the astronaut and the lunar surface in one photo, but unfortunately the view out the window is overexposed. Ed Hengeveld |

Another great find, Ed!
Never saw that one.
Do you know if any similar photos exist for Apollos 12, 14, 15, and 16? (I've seen A-17 in cabin on surface photos)
Thanks, Ed.

No, sadly the Apollo-12 through 16 crews didn't make such photos. But I did recently discover a similar photo of Apollo-9 CDR Jim McDivitt...Ed |

Hi Ed:
I love the way you manage to find photos most of us have never even seen before. You seem to add a page to my knowledge of this history every time you post a new photo.
Thanks, Ed!

Rob, that is my aim exactly. Too often we see photos that have been published a thousand times before. I try to find photos that are different. Ed |
