Note du spécialiste

“Bigger and bigger the LM gets in my window, until finally it nearly fills it completely...[...]Neil is flying in formation with me... ‘I got the Earth coming up... it’s fantastic!’ I shout at Neil and Buzz, and grab for my camera, to get all three actors (Earth, Moon, and Eagle) in the same picture. Too bad Columbia will show up only as a window frame, if at all.”
Michael Collins (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 74)
