- Comment – How about nominating a three-picture set imcluding Armstrong & Aldrin, too - should be possible? --Janke | Talk 21:04, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
- The quality for Armstrong's is just not good enough.[1][2] I am arguing with the NASA Image Library via email to convince them to re-scan it. I am working on restoring the one for Aldrin now. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 05:27, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
- Just for info: there is a group picture here. Bammesk (talk) 01:35, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, I used that group photo as inspiration for a scene in a 2.5 minute cartoon film I made as a teenager in 1969: [3] ;-) --Janke | Talk 10:16, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
- The DOF-zoom at 2:12 and the phone inside the ship! very cool :-) Bammesk (talk) 02:28, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
