Half a century ago this week, NASA photographic technician Terry Slezak examined Hasselblad film magazines exposed during the Apollo 11 mission after they were delivered to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. As he removed the plastic seal from magazine S, which contained images of the lunar surface EVA, Slezak was "contaminated" by traces of a black powdery substance. Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong reported during the mission that he had retrieved a 70mm cassette which had dropped to the lunar surface.

Never seen this image either, nice choice Ed.

What is that glove Slezak is wearing on only his left hand?
