Men on the Moon

I love the photos from the expedition to the moon at the Natural History Museum here in NYC. If you ever get a chance to go there, plan to spend at least half an hour or an hour just staring at these beautiful huge prints around the second floor of the part of the museum with the planetarium in the middle of it.

Looking at the photos, I could imagine feelings of intense excitement, utter loneliness and a fear of death far away from home.

The landscape is so grey.

I love the moon buggy. The tires are especially wonderful.

You can tell that these suits were zig-zag stitched and that the velcro is failing on some of the pockets! Space boots are awesome! More photos in my Man on the Moon flickr set.
