 During a visit to the Marshall Space Flight Center in July 2007, Neil Armstrong has a casting of his footprint made to be displayed at the center together with those of other astronauts. Assisting Armstrong with the casting procedure is MSFC employee Daniel McFall. (This is a report, because I can not upload a new photo to my Photobucket account for some reason) Ed Hengeveld |

I have seen that picture elsewhere. Very nice. Only a shame they did not use an A7L boot to make the impression; the pattern on the sole being used is not the same as that made by Neil on the moon. |

Just out of curiosity - do we know whether it was Armstrong's left or right boot that touched the Moon's surface first? |

I thought it was his left foot that touched the surface first. Is there a photo of the castings on display? |

What did the other lunar boot print look like? How are they different? |
