Description
Deutsch: Buzz Aldrin fotografierte seinen Fußabdruck auf der Mondoberfläche am 20. Juli 1969 mit einem Carl Zeiss Biogon Objektiv an einer Hasselblad Kamera. Das Foto entstand aus wissenschaftlichen Zwecken um die Bodenmechanik der Mondoberfläche zu untersuchen. Es wurde später zum Synonym für die Eroberung des Weltraums durch den Menschen.
English: Apollo 11 Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin's bootprint. Aldrin photographed this bootprint about an hour into their lunar extra-vehicular activity on July 20, 1969, as part of investigations into the soil mechanics of the lunar surface. This photo would later become synonymous with humankind's venture into space.
Français : Empreinte du pas de Buzz Aldrin photographiée par son auteur environ une heure après sa sortie du module. Cette photo, prise pour étudier la mécanique du sol lunaire, est devenue une icône de la conquête spatiale.
