Apollo Quote by Neil Armstrong

“The view of the moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course we can see the entire circumference even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it is in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.” quote by Neil Armstrong — Download Open image

He also telephoned the Real Time Computer Complex on…
