NEIL ARMSTRONG CAPTURES THE IMAGE THAT SYMBOLIZES THE NATIONAL GOAL OF LANDING MEN ON THE MOON


In this evocative image taken by Neil Armstrong, Aldrin stands next to the United States flag after he and Armstrong deployed our national symbol on the lunar surface. This photograph reflects the decade effort of the United States to accomplish President John F. Kennedy's goal of landing a man on the moon and returning safely to earth.
