Aldrin beside Eagle
NASA / Neil Armstrong, 1969
Aldrin beside the leg that has to hold until they climb it again. The ladder is the only door off this world. The dust has the prints. The engine still has to agree to leave.
About this work
Neil Armstrong took this photograph of Buzz Aldrin on the lunar surface on July 20, 1969, using a 70mm Hasselblad camera. Aldrin, the lunar module pilot, stands beside the United States flag the two men had just set up. The lunar module Eagle is on the left, and the astronauts' bootprints are clear in the soil of the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong and Aldrin had landed Eagle that day, creating the site they named Tranquility Base, while Michael Collins stayed in lunar orbit aboard the command module Columbia. Aldrin was the second person to walk on the Moon. He had already made three spacewalks on Gemini 12 in 1966, and after the deaths of Armstrong in 2012 and Collins in 2021 he became the last surviving member of the crew. NASA catalogues this frame as AS11-40-5875.
