“Nothing can replace the pictures that were taken on the first visit to the lunar surface. Those are always going to stand out.”
Buzz Aldrin (Jacobs, p. 15)

“The pictures were of such clarity and startling starkness. I thought ‘Not only did we do this, but we brought back amazing documentation’. These weren’t grainy B&W photos. You could see every rivet, every fold in the flag.”
Michael Collins (Jacobs, p. 15)
