When this picture was published, my grandfather was so moved that he took the full page photograph from the newspaper, made a rosewood frame for it, and hung it on the wall in his home for the rest of his life. He was born in 1908, and that's how much the world changed around him over the course of his life. I still have his photo on my wall.
That's Buzz Aldrin, the photo was taken by Neil Armstrong. Armstrong took almost all the photos on the moon and because of that there are only photos of Aldrin and almost none of Armstrong. We have some stills from videos and one wide-angle side picture of Armstrong that Aldrin took, but no high-quality pictures of Armstrong on the surface of the moon.

It is still fucking mind boggling that we sent people to the moon and they walked around and stuff, then CAME BACK.
I can not believe they did it
