 The Apollo 11 astronauts are seen dining in the Crew Reception Area of the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, Building 37 at the Manned Spacecraft Center (now JSC), on July 30, 1969. Left to right, are Buzz Aldrin, Mike Collins and Neil Armstrong. They were continuing their postflight debriefings and were released from quarantine in the evening of August 10, 1969. |

Great picture Ed, thanks. I think they said it was a period well spent and that later crews, of whom it wasn't required, suggested that it was a time to adjust which they perhaps could have done with. |

A very interesting photo indeed. It clearly shows that the 'moon threat' wasn't taken very seriously (and for good reason). The photo quite clearly demonstrates that the Lunar Receiving Lab wasn't even up to Bio-level three standard — in fact the very presence of the Venetian blinds against windows doesn't even suggest bio hazard level two security.I think we all know now that the entire Lunar Receiving Lab building was just a political front to assuage the general public and wasn't a real scientific barrier against cosmically engineered doom. (After all the Command Module was opened at sea and the entire Earth could have been poisoned/infected at that point! And let's not even mention the portakabin affair on the deck of the USS Hornet!!!). So a very interesting and informative photo. | |
