Seen as it happened – The Liftoff.
Sunday, 19 July 2009
It is 40 years since the first human took his first step on the moon – Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
I was 18 and sat up all night watching my family’s black and white TV to follow this historic event. Finally, in the middle of the night where I lived, it was time for the Eagle to land on the Moon.
With my camera, I took several pictures of the TV screen, to document for myself this truly historic moment in Homo sapiens history.
I show some of these pictures here, as a contrast to the recently restored NASA pictures of this event.
This is how it was truly seen around the world!
