Episode 65: On the Lunar Surface (The Apollo Program, Part X)

Most of the pictures taken during the Apollo 11 Lunar Extravehicular Activity (EVA) are of Buzz Aldrin, because Neil Armstrong held the camera most of the mission. In this image of Aldrin, Armstrong can be seen reflected in the gold sunshield covering Aldrin's face. Aldrin's arm is lifted like it is because he is reading the to-do checklist sewen into his left gauntlet to help keep him on task. Armstrong also had a to-do list for his portion of the EVA.

The plaque I mentioned in Episode 63 attached to one of Eagle's descent stage legs that was left behind when the ascent stage returned to lunar orbit

Armstrong was all smiles back in Eagle after the successful two hour and twenty minute EVA

One last glance at the lunar surface before the ascent stage lifts off. You can see the flag (which Aldrin saw fall over just after lift-off) surrounded by astronaut footprints and a white camera mounted on a white pole
