	Devil's Crater - Lake Agassiz
		The only obstacles we encountered while paddling up the canyon towards the crater were a two-metre high rock wall that we had to portage over near the beginning of the canyon and a short section near the end of the canyon closest to the crater where it became too shallow to paddle the canoe.
		The crater and the canyon probably began as a fault in the bedrock.
		The remaining portion of the crater’s edge is a steep slope composed primarily of large boulders.

	Neil Armstrong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Armstrong's first spaceflight was Gemini 8 in 1966, for which he was the command pilot.
		Armstrong's second and last spaceflight was as mission commander of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission on July 20, 1969.
		Armstrong's first words were declared after saying "I'm going to step off the LM now" and turning and setting the boot on the surface.

	Apollo 11 Summary
		Nowhere on the Moon are craters of that size more than a few kilometers apart and, for this first landing, the NASA flight engineers were not yet ready to fine-tune the approach trajectory to much better than about eight kilometers east or west of the target point and about two kilometers north or south.
		Armstrong had killed almost all of their forward velocity and now, as they began to kick up dust with the engine exhaust, he asked Aldrin to confirm that they were still moving forward a little.
		However, before Armstrong and Aldrin could pay much attention to the view or think about going outside themselves, they had to be sure that they had a healthy spacecraft and that the navigation computer was properly loaded with the information needed to get them back to orbit for a rendezvous with Collins.

	Apollo 11 Lunar Surface Journal : Mission Summary
		At pitchover, Armstrong positioned himself so that the vertical scales were aligned; and Aldrin read a computer output to him that indicated just where he should look on the scale to find the computer's intended landing point.
		While Armstrong flew the LM toward a good landing spot, his attention was totally focused on the job at hand.
		For the first half hour or so, neither Armstrong nor Aldrin did more than a shuffling walk as they went about their work and it was planned, after this initial period of familiarization, for Aldrin to try to take advantage of the one-sixth gravity and try to run.

	BBC - h2g2 - Apollo 11 - The First Lunar Landing - A3772794
		Armstrong called for the Landing Point Designator (LPD) readings, which he could align with two scales scribed on the LM's window to give him a line of sight to the precise point on the ground to which pings predicted the landing point would be.
		Armstrong tried to correct Eagle's sideways drift and keep the craft's forward movement, so that touchdown would occur on ground he has just passed over, reducing the risk of putting a landing pad in an unseen crater.
		During the landing he had overflown the large 'West Crater', into which pings had been directing the craft, and then a 30 yard wide 'Little West crater', some 50 yards from the landing point, which is the closest feature to Tranquillity Base on the otherwise flat mare.

	Apollo 11
		On July 16th, 1969 Neil Armstrong, commander of Apollo 11, Michael Collins, command module pilot, and Edwin " Buzz" Aldrin, the lunar module pilot, were picked up at Kennedy Space Center and loaded into a van and taken to the spacecraft for the beginning of their historic journey.
		Armstrong saw this and maneuvered the Eagle around to a smooth landing in a suitable spot.
		Armstrong did land in a suitable spot not far away from the original place, hence the saying "the Eagle has landed." where a loud cheer erupted from the control tower and Collins, who was waiting in Apollo 11.

		Armstrong and Aldrin were on the moon's surface for 21 hours, 38 minutes, 21 seconds.
		An armillary sphere is an instrument from the 1500s that was used to determine the relative positions of the celestial equator, the ecliptic, the planetary orbits, etc. This device consisted of a series of concentric rings.
		Armstrong and Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin, Jr., landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, in the lunar module (landing in the Mare Tranquilitatis), while Michael Collins orbited the moon in the command module.

		Irregulars: One piece of Armstrong resilient flooring material that is down-graded from regulars to irregulars because of one or more defects of material workmanship.
		This material is not covered under the Armstrong material warranty and is sold "as is".
		All Armstrong resilient flooring may be installed over radiant-heated subfloors as long as the surface temperature does not exceed 85° F. When temperatures exceed this limit, the flooring can soften and increase the risk of indentation.

		The road that led Neil Armstrong to the moon’s Sea of Tranquillity began in the Ohio town of Wapakoneta, where his father had settled after roaming the state in a variety of public-service positions.
		From his early youth Armstrong was fascinated by flight; he took his first ride on an airplane at age six, in his teens he saved money from his after-school job to pay for flying lessons.
		On July 20, 1969, Armstrong — who as senior officer had the honor of being the first person to set foot upon the moon — hopped from the module’s ladder to the moon’s cold, rock-strewn surface.

		Stages in the formation of an impact crater: (1) the impact; (b) the projectile vaporizes and a shock wave spreads through the lunar rock; (c) ejecta are thrown out of the crater; and (d) most of the ejected material falls back to form secondary craters, rays, and the ejecta blanket.

		Armstrong responded that they couldn't respond to a threatening real-life scenario without knowing the outer parameters of the craft.
		He came in 40 feet high between a set of craters and a field of boulders, dropped to 30 feet, "gunned forward a tad" to avoid drifting backward into the boulders and made history with 30 seconds of fuel left.
		And he sheepishly confessed to his father that sometimes, when lying in bed on the edge of consciousness, he felt himself leaving the ground, the house, the Midwestern countryside of Wapakoneta.

		The lander's rocket was not at full thrust when it landed, Armstrong throttled it back all the way down as the lander approached the surface.
		There were probes hanging beneath the feet sensed when they touched ground, allowing the Armstrong to switch off the rocket just before touch down.
		This was done to prevent the rocket's thrust rebounding off the surface and damaging the lander itself.

		Mareta West was the first person to suggest correctly which crater in the landing area Armstrong had flown over, as Gene ShoemakerÕs team struggled to pinpoint where Eagle had come down (First on the Moon, 1970, UK edition page 248, US edition p 296).
		As it turned out, West crater was indeed named for its westerly location with respect to the intended landing site, although it is some way east of Tranquillity Base, and there was also a North crater further round the landing ellipse.
		WestÕs neighbour, Little West crater, which Armstrong walked to, is sometimes confusingly called East Crater as it sits just east of the Lunar Module (see 102:44:25 and 111:10:00).
