The Look On Neil Armstrong's Face After First Lunar Landing [PIC] (upload.wikimedia.org)
submitted 3 years ago by nzeeshan
[–][deleted] 20 points21 points22 points 3 years ago
I know how he feels. I had the same look the first time I didn't crash in Lunar Lander.
[–][deleted] 40 points41 points42 points 3 years ago
From this point forward, his every orgasm will feel like a let-down. He is hence forth eternally cursed with "meh."
[–]spacelincoln 13 points14 points15 points 3 years ago
I just shout "The Eagle has landed!" It helps reclaim some of the magic.
[–]vanostran 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
I can't imagine his experience.
[–]ArtlessDodger -11 points-10 points-9 points 3 years ago
I'm sorry but the lunar landing is not ecstasy...
[–]sundogdayze 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago
And you would know this how?
[–]supermeerkat 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
I think he means it didn't happen. Now, where did I put that tinfoil...
[–]systemghost 12 points13 points14 points 3 years ago
There's so much joy, I can't help but be infected.
[–]Fauster 19 points20 points21 points 3 years ago
He's plainly stoned. Well played, Neil.
[–]hole-in-the-wall 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago
That's what I thought. Where do I get moon weed?
[–]sn0re 20 points21 points22 points 3 years ago
The moon.
[–]f0nd004u 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago*
It's moonijuana.
[–]zerokey 9 points10 points11 points 3 years ago
"Dude, I'm on the Moon. The motherfucking MOON." I imagine every first-time moon visitor has this expression. I know I will.
[–]satertek 11 points12 points13 points 3 years ago
Obligatory
[–]crelm_toothpaste 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
I forgot about that, thanks! :)
[–]Iterr 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
he looks exhausted
[–]dadaking 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago
Humanity's greatest moment - and we'll probably never see anything like it again in our lifetime...
[–]ifiwasntintherapgame 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago
He's looking at Stanley Kubrick, who's taking the photo on a sound stage in Burbank, California.
snoogins.
[–]cweaver 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago
At first he was like :| but then he was all :D
[–]vagijn 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago*
Duct tape. So strong it will even hold your spacecraft together.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
Wow, compared to Schmidt and Cernan on Apollo 17 he looks so clean!
[–]Sex_Cactus 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
Is this right after they actually landed, or after they finished up outside?
[–]gnudarve 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
I had that look the first time I had sex
[–]lylia 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago
I love the heart-shaped light on the lower right. <3
[–]Lagstorm 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago*
He slightly resembles Animal Mother from Full Metal Jacket in this picture. He walks the walk, can he talk the talk?
Edit: capitalization technique ineffective
[–]DrOOpieS 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
This guy here, he's my bro. And it's his birthday.
[–]Lagstorm 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago
Happy birthday zipperhead.
[–]ifiwasntintherapgame 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
Full Metal Jacket and The Moon Landing, both Stanley Kubrick Productions.
[–]robodale 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago
That look is the result of the giant turd in his pants. They had something like 15 seconds of fuel left when they landed.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago*
[citation needed] Seriously? I didn't know about that (the fuel that is).
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 3 years ago
Yes. They were hovering longer than anticipated to find a good spot for touchdown. The fuel was almost gone when they finally did.
[–]ch00f 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago
Also, the ignition button for lift-off from the Moon's surface was broken sometime during their flight. They had to jam a pen into the button's hole to engage the engine and get off that rock.
Many people say that if we tried the Apollo program today, it wouldn't fly. Way too fucking risky.
Probably the only good thing to come out of the Cold War.
Right, the pen! I think I have to re-watch the Apollo documentary once again. Alone, because I know noone who whould would sit through it with me :-)
About the cold war... I came out of it, and I consider myself a good thing :-D
[–]DrOOpieS 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
That's good old fashioned American know how right there.
[–]jk3us 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
Good thing he had a pen instead of a pencil, which may have broken and made the situation worse?
[–]Mr_Smartypants 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
The wikipedia article: this section, 5th paragraph
Nothing but boulders underneath him, and alarms going off...
[–]op1500 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
He's just thinking "WOW, that Shepard's prayer really works!"
[–]CUNexTuesday 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
He looks mad stoned.
[–]mr_qwerty 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
Wow... feel free to downvote my ignorance but I wasn't aware that there was high fidelity color photography back then! :D
[–][deleted] 9 points10 points11 points 3 years ago
They had experiment color film during the time of WWI. And a lot of footage shot in WWII was actually shot in color and converted to black and white later.

[–]mr_qwerty 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago*
That's really cool! Thanks for the video
Edit: Oh yeah, and there was that really cool russian photographer who took really nice color pictures of Tsarist Russia in the prewar period and they weren't transferred into color photos until recently.
I found them! http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/
[–]Guderian -4 points-3 points-2 points 3 years ago
He could have cleaned up a little before taking pictures.
[–]nocent7 -1 points0 points1 point 3 years ago
And now I know Neil Armstrong doesn't really have a giant Space suit head...
Awesome! Thanks reddit!
[–]blufr0g -22 points-21 points-20 points 3 years ago*
...on a Hollywood set. Why do I even argue this point anymore, the facts are readily available if you dare look.
.
edit: sorry people, wouldn't want to let any "evil conspiracy theory" challenge your perception of reality, because as we all know conspiracies don't ever happen
[–]Russkie177 12 points13 points14 points 3 years ago
You people really believe it was all a hoax? Still?
[–]MrDanger 10 points11 points12 points 3 years ago
They have to since they're too stupid to ping the laser responder and can't check for themselves. One of the most insidious things about being dumb as a board is thinking everyone else must also be dumb as a board. I guess that's why I assumed this guy had to be joking as I can't imagine anyone possibly being that dumb.
[–][deleted] 17 points18 points19 points 3 years ago

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago
When's the next meeting of the Flat Earth Society?
[–]blufr0g -3 points-2 points-1 points 3 years ago
Let me find it, i think it's in that email you sent me
[–]BafisComen 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
give
[–]f0nd004u 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
Look at his face, man. You can't fake that.
[–]blufr0g -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago
What? Being overwhelmed realizing that you are at the center of the the biggest conspiracy of the time.
[–]coolmrbrady 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago
Don't you watch Mythbusters?
[–]cometparty -15 points-14 points-13 points 3 years ago
