“High quality footage of that One Small Step”

Here’s some incredible 16mm footage from July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first human extraterrestrial.

The sequence of events shown is fascinating. You can hear Neil say he is opening the MESA, the Modular Equipment Storage Assembly. The movie camera that took the footage of his actual first step on the Moon was in there (some Moon Hoax twinkies love to ask who took the movie of Neil’s step, never bothering to, y’know, look it up. I guess typing stuff into Google is too hard for them). It was aimed at the bottom of the ladder, so Neil would be in its field of view when he walked off the footpad.

While landing a human on the moon is, perhaps, the greatest achievement of mankind, it represents “crossing the hall” in a cosmological sense.
