INSCRIBED and SIGNED: “Post EVA, BUZZ ALDRIN, July 21, 1969.” Neil Armstrong photographs the Moon’s surface from his commander station inside Lunar Module Eagle. Several small rocks and dozens of boot prints are clearly seen along a path toward the experiments (seismometer and laser reflector) that he and Aldrin had deployed during their moonwalk. Two thrusters from the ascent stage attitude control jets can be seen in the foreground.
