AN EXCEPTIONAL PHOTOGRAPH OF THE LUNAR SURFACE, SIGNED BY TWO MEMBERS OF THE APOLLO 11 CREW


Taken July 1969 during the historic Apollo 11 mission, this dramatic photograph not only depicts the beautiful, cratered Moonscape, it also illuminates the impact that the Apollo 11 mission left on human experience and understanding of our place in the universe. Signed by Apollo 11 Command Module Pilot (CMP) Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot (LMP) Buzz Aldrin, this image highlights the scale of just how strange and monumental those first human steps taken by their crewmate Neil Armstrong were when he first stepped foot on the lunar surface, heralding a new age of exploration.


The Apollo 11 mission paved the way for the international space station as well as exploring the impossible.
