The moment Neil Armstrong stepped out of the Apollo 11 Lunar Landing Craft and onto the surface of the Moon, everything changed. What seemed like an impromptu moment was actually rehearsed all the way down to the footprint! Here, just days before liftoff, Neil Armstrong is demonstrating just how his boot will look when and if he sets foot on the moon. This is an official NASA photograph with their famous purple text on the back and in great shape. We have handled thousands of photographs from the Apollo 11 landing and the events leading up to it with this photograph being the only vintage example of the practice for Armstrong's "Giant Leap" we have ever seen! Photo is crystal clear with small creases on the upper left and lower center border being the only flaws.
