...at the village hall. It's the picture round. Up comes the photo of Aldrin on the moon and the question is "What date was this taken?" I know this one - July 21st 1969. I am more than a little put out to be told the answer is the 24th. Does the quiz-master know something I don't? I am re-assured when he later tells us the answer to "Who played Butch Cassidy?" is Robert Redford.

...and Abraham Lincoln was born in a log cabin he built with his own hands.

I am re-assured when he later tells us the answer to "Who played Butch Cassidy?" is Robert Redford. The date, of course is dependent upon where in the world you happened to be at that particular moment. That photo you speak of was taken about an hour and fifteen minutes into the AS-11 EVA, which, in Houston, would've been somewhere around 11:10-11:15 pm on the 20th. In the eastern time zone, it was a bit after midnight on the 21st. Thus, it was the 20th from Houston west, and the 21st from Houston east. But it most assuredly wasn't anywhere close to the 24th, as the 24th was the day Apollo 11 returned to earth. |
