The Apollo 11 mission took place in 1969, which saw three astronauts: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins put an end to the Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union by successfully landing on the Moon. A year after the historic mission, unearthed footage of a BBC interview features Armstrong describing what it was like on the surface of the Moon.
Speaking to Patrick Moore, Armstrong was asked what the surface of the Moon looked like, and the legendary astronaut described it as varying in color depending on the angle. Armstrong noted that it was one of the first things they noticed when they were orbiting the Moon. “You could see that, at the boundary between the black part of the moon and the lighted part of the moon, it was if you were looking at the television set with the contrast turned to full,” shared Armstrong.
Armstrong went on to further recall that the surface was black and white, with hues of grey appearing more and more the closer they got to the lit part of the Moon. Approaching the sunlit parts, Armstrong recalled seeing some faint tinges of brown and tan. The astronaut even recalled that when he took a sample of the Moon, the color of the surroundings changed. Aside from the colors, Armstrong shared that he and Aldrin struggled with their perception of distance due to the curvature of the Moon.
Meanwhile, Armstrong’s colleague Michael Collins retired the year after the historic mission, and his 2019 interview revealed why he decided to leave NASA. Collins shared that he later pursued other endeavors, such as becoming director of the National Air and Space Museum. The former astronaut also shared how his lifestyle was soon taking its toll on him and his family, which was what drove him to leave.
Collins explained that he was tired of being placed inside a simulator, which was where he was often during his days as part of the Apollo program. “I felt that I upheld my end of the bargain with NASA,” shared Collins.
However, he shared that although he had some regrets, he was mainly content with his decision to leave.
