Did you notice that in the August 11 issue, there's a reference to, "Armstrong's booted foot, pressed firmly in the lunar soil," but the foot in the accompanying photograph really belongs to Aldrin? Artistic license or something.

I clearly have too much time on my hands, but I wonder if the December 12 1969 LIFE magazine is what the guy in this video is reading at 2:52.
