Myth: NASA's decision as to which Apollo 11 crew member - Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin, the lunar module pilot - would first go down the ladder of the Eagle spacecraft and make the first step onto the surface of the moon was determined by the interior layout of the lunar lander's cockpit and by which one of the two astronauts could best access and egress through the hatch opening. The Apollo 11 crew, from left: from left, Neil Armstrong, commander Michael Collins, command module pilot and Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, conducting a crew compartment fit and functional check, of the equipment and storage locations, in their command module. during the Korean War, flying 78 combat missions over North Korea. After all, Armstrong had fought in combat for the U.S. Media at the time speculated that this was the main reason that NASA chose Armstrong for his role in Apollo 11, but it played no significant part in NASA's thinking. Navy) and would thereby represent the United States in this Cold War era as a civilian rather than a military man, thereby emphasizing the peaceful goals of the U.S. Myth: NASA chose Armstrong to be the commander of the first landing and the first man on the moon because, of all the commanders, he was the only one who was no longer active-duty military (he had been U.S. Information gained from the highly successful X-15 program contributed to the development of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo manned spaceflight programs, and also the Space Shuttle program. It set the world's unofficial speed and altitude records. The X-15 was a missile-shaped, rocket-powered aircraft 50 feet long with a wingspan of 22 feet. Maybe all these stupid moon hoax conspiracy theory believers should take a look at these.ĭo you really believe that these data would be freely available for private research if it all was fake.Neil Armstrong is seen here next to the X-15 ship #1 after a research flight. Note that the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal is a private initiative by Eric Jones On each of the panoramas you can scroll down and get detailed information about the images used (thanks to Eric Jones who let me use these abstracts) This has been possible because of Eric Jones Apollo Lunar Surface Journal where every image taken on the moon is linked to the transcripts from the authentic conversation with Houston which also includes audio and video.
THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON PICTURES UPDATE
In this update January 2007 panoramas from all the Moon Landings has been added.Īll panoramas now also have a sound-clip which matches the panorama. It included the Apollo 11 and the Apollo 17 panorama. This page was first published in July 2004 at the 35 year anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing
NASA HISTORY page about Photography on the moon Original images from The Apollo Image Gallery The Journal also contains extensive, interwoven commentary by the Editor Eric Jones and by ten of the twelve moonwalking astronauts. It includes a corrected transcript of all recorded conversations between the lunar surface crews and Houston. The Journal is intended as a resource for anyone wanting to know what happened during the missions and why. The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal is a record of the lunar surface operations conducted by the six pairs of astronauts who landed on the Moon from 1969 through 1972. I have tried to keep this as much as possible like the originals but in some the visible errors from this has been covered by a photoshop generated flare.Īudioclips and data from the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal In several of the panoramas the sun is very low and shining directly into the camera which causes very large flares. Besides stitching them to panoramas the images are kept as much as possible in their original
