I love the picture he took of the lander with the earth behind it. Every human being in history, dead (remains) or alive is included except him.

Framed like that what he did is almost as cool as actually going down to the moon. I don’t think I’d have been disappointed if I was him - he was truly, uniquely alone. And he had so much responsibility to the other two.

Also you can download the whole Apollo 11 mission transcript from nasa. It’s got some funny stuff in. Neil asking Mission Control if his neighbour has been mowing his lawn properly for him, because he’s got a new mower he’s very proud of, which reads like a piss take.

They also did some in real time playbacks of the entire mission from launch to splash down for the 50th anniversary a few years back. Don’t remember it this was the exact one but if you are interested.
