Nasa. LARGE FORMAT. Apollo 11 mission. Probably the most famous of all salutes to the human flag: Buzz Aldrin's salute to the American flag that has just been raised on the Moon. Of all the symbols in this salute, one of the most powerful is that of the beginning of a new civilizational era for mankind, which began on July 20, 1969. The physical colonization of extraterrestrial lands had just begun for mankind. On the ground, in the foreground, are the abundant traces of the first human steps on the Moon. Later chromogenic print. Numbering on front. Label on back. 40.6 x 40.6CM with margins.
