Mission Control is the coolest office. I want some monitors like that.

Great picture of Neil Armstrong on the moon. Can see his face through visor. Very cool.

Photo of the Day: Newly surfaced photo, captured by a camera mounted on Apollo 11’s lunar module, of Neil Armstrong, moments after stepping onto the surface of the moon.

The photo is unique for being the first and only to clearly show Armstrong’s face through his helmet’s visor.
