Description
A color photograph signed and inscribed by Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. (born 1930), as "Buzz Aldrin / Apollo XI" in blue felt tip pen at center right. This is a modern reprint on glossy Kodak photo paper based on the original NASA photograph, AS11-40-5903, taken of Aldrin by fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong as they explored the Sea of Tranquility region of the Moon on July 20, 1969. Bright, crisp, and near pristine. 8" x 10."
Buzz Aldrin served as the Lunar Module Pilot during the July 16-July 24, 1969 Apollo 11 mission, alongside Commander Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins (1930-2021). Armstrong and Aldrin were the first humans to step onto the moon's gray and granular surface on July 20, 1969. While on the moon, the astronauts took photographs, placed a TV camera, collected geological samples, set up seismic and laser experiments, and even received a celebratory phone call from President Nixon.
