 Forty years ago today, Apollo 11 astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin entered the LM Eagle for the first time on the way to the moon for an inspection. Aldrin can be seen listening to Mission Control in Houston via his headset. Ed Hengeveld |

Nice one Ed. But forget the good Doctor and look at those check lists floating above him! |

Whichever one it is, no one has yet added, "Flown to the lunar surface on Apollo XI" |

On the way to moon the crew entered the LEM for the first time and used the TV camera to show the viewers back on earth around their spaceship. Here are three images from that TV footage. Neil Armstrong shows the viewers a washer he had found floating around inside the LM, it can be seen between his fingers as it floats infront of the rendezvous window.  Armstrong points the TV camera out out of the rendezvous window back at the CM and in the window Collins can be seen looking back.  Next Armstrong scans the LEM display panel and the Lunar Contact light can be seen in this image. |
