55 years ago… Apollo 11 press briefing 1969, August 12 after spending 21 days in quarantine the Apollo 11 astronauts gave their first NASA post-flight press conference, narrating a 45 minutes film and answering questions. The Apollo 11 Moonwalkers stayed 21.5 hours on the lunar surface with their Moonwalk lasting 2 hours 31 minutes collecting 21 kilograms of Moonrocks. During lunar EVA, only Edwin Buzz Aldrin wore his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 105.012-65 (NASA n° 43) as Armstrong left his (NASA n° 46) onboard the lunar lander Eagle. While in quarantine, the astronauts still wore their Speedmaster on the long black velcro while here we see the Omega Speedmaster on a lightweight steel mesh Jacoby Bender Champion bracelet. This was probably the mission watch, but later crews received two NASA-issued Speedmaster chronographs, one for daily life & training while another was already allocated to their specific spaceflight mission. A day later, cross-country celebrations brought the astronauts to New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. Between 29 July and 6 November 1969, the Apollo 11 astronauts and their wives travelled the world as their Goodwill tour visited 24 countries! (Photo: NASA/Mario De Biasi/Mondadori)
