[Apollo 11] Buzz Aldrin closing out the first EVA on the surface...
[Apollo 11] Buzz Aldrin closing out the first EVA on the surface of another world. Neil Armstrong, 16–24 July 1969. Printed 1969. Vintage chromogenic print on fiber-based Kodak paper [NASA image AS11–40-5964]. 20.3×25.4 cm (8×10 in), with NASA caption numbered “AS11–40-5964” and “A Kodak Paper” watermarks on the verso, numbered “NASA AS11–40-5964” in red in top margin (NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Texas).
Literature: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, December 1969, p. 768 (variant); Apollo: Through the Eyes of the Astronauts, Jacobs, pg. 58.
A rare photograph of Buzz Aldrin completing the activities of the first moonwalk before climbing back inside the LM Eagle for liftoff from the Moon. The last task of the EVA was to take core samples of the lunar surface. Aldrin is hammering a special core tube into the lunar surface. The hammer is well visible in his hand. The Solar Wind Collector is visible just beyond the core tube stuck into the lunar surface.
During this first visit to the Moon, the astronauts remained within about 100 meters of the LM, collected about 47 pounds of samples, and deployed four experiments. After spending approximately 2 hours and 31 minutes on the surface, the astronauts ended the EVA at 1:11:13 a.m. EDT on July 21. (http://www.lpi.usra.edu/lunar/missions/apollo/apollo_11/surface_opp/)
“There were a lot of things to do, and we had a hard time getting them finished. We had very little trouble, much less trouble than expected, on the surface. It was a pleasant operation. Temperatures weren’t high. They were very comfortable. The little EMU, the combination of spacesuit and backpack that sustained our life on the surface, operated magnificently. The primary difficulty was just far too little time to do the variety of things we would have liked. We had the problem of the five-year-old boy in a candy store.” Neil Armstrong (NASA SP-350, p. 11.5).
