The Archive was created by Kipp Teague in February 1999 as a companion web site to his 'Contact Light' personal retrospective on Project Apollo. The first being the Intra Vehicular Camera (IVA), a conventional 500EL with a Zeiss Planar f/2.8 80mm lens, was not intended for use on the moon’s surface. “For a number of reasons it was decided that the customary thing would be that the commander does the leading of his troops and he should be the one symbolically to go down and that was the way it was decided. The Project Apollo Archive serves as an online reference source and repository of digital images pertaining to the historic manned lunar landing program. He continued: “Previously, on all other spacewalks, the commander was so occupied training for the very complex things he had to do and make decisions, so generally the experiments were given to the pilot, NASA doesn’t like that word co-pilot, but the pilot always did the spacewalking. “The most important thing is opening the hatch, and that was easy, but there was some controversy because it was the first time that two people were going to go out.”Īldrin then spoke of the pressures that the Apollo 11 crew felt during the mission and how it was decided Armstrong would be the first man on the Moon. “If you don’t make the landing, you can’t go outside, you have to do it again, but that’s not the way the press and the media see it.
