Neil Armstrong Lunar Surface Training

Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, wearing an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, participates in a simulation of deploying and using lunar tools on the surface of the Moon during a training exercise in Building 9 at the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center (now Johnson Space Center) in Houston, Texas, on April 22, 1969. In the background is the Lunar Module mock-up used for crew training. Three months after this photo was taken Armstrong would be on his way back from the Moon—having been the first human to set foot on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
