Still Waters Posted March 17, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Buzz Aldrin, the Apollo 11 astronaut, is to sell the instruction sheets used during the first Moon landing. The notes were part of Aldrin's own manual used while Armstrong piloted the Lunar Module Eagle towards the Moon in 1969. Also included in the sale is a second-by-second account by Aldrin of the fraught final minutes as the Module approached the surface of the moon. It reveals that the first words spoken on the surface were "Contact Light", spoken by Aldrin to confirm touch down. http://www.telegraph...n-the-moon.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted March 17, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2013 That must be a tense moment at the point of contact with the Lunar surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted March 17, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 17, 2013 That must be a tense moment at the point of contact with the Lunar surface. Bit of a squeezy bum time I reckon! I would like to think a museum will buy it and not some rich man who will frame it and put it up to show his elite guests, the public should have access to these things.
