[APOLLO 11] 

BUZZ ALDRIN BESIDE THE STARS AND STRIPES. 20 JULY 1969.

Vintage NASA “Red Number” chromogenic color photograph, 10 by 8 inches, “A Kodak Paper” watermark to verso. NASA image ID “NASA AS11-40-5875” printed in upper left margin in red; minor nick to one corner, two squares of tape to verso.

Aldrin stands next to the United States flag after its deployment on the lunar surface. It is perhaps this photograph that best symbolizes the accomplishments of President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the Moon.
