Apollo 11 astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, walks his dog (on the moon.)

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, lunar module pilot, stands on the surface of the moon near the leg of the lunar module, Eagle, during the Apollo 11 moonwalk. Astronaut Neil Armstrong, mission commander, took this photograph with a 70mm lunar surface camera. While Armstrong and Aldrin descended in the lunar module to explore the Sea of Tranquility, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained in lunar orbit with the Command and Service Module, Columbia.

I, on the other hand, imagined he was holding something. Suddenly it seemed obvious.

  1. Poor dog must be frozen in place - he (or she) hasn't left a sngle footprint.

  2. Sure there are but they're behind him. Before that Buzz had to carry him from the lunar lander. That dog did not like Neil at all for some reason.
