That would have been me.
I was under the impression, there was a camera attached to one of the landing legs. But, can't prove it.

The camera was mounted on the side of the LEM. There was no "who," only a "what."

The shot of Armstrong going down the ladder was taken from the side. The angle from the camera would have been about 45 degrees or so to the ladder.Ok ok, TB you got me on that one.

Armstrong then took this picture of Buzz Aldrin.

The ball may not have achieved escape velocity, because the suits limited movement so much.Ok ok, better stop the chit chat before Troy gets on us again.
Now I think I remember on one mission, a golf club and a ball went up there.
One of the guys teed off. I guess the ball is still going. It has to land some where says Newton.

The flag on the moon presented a special problem. With no wind, it would just hang (or float) there. So, they had to design a flag that would stand outward as if it was in a wind under the conditions of no atmosphere. The sight of the flag outstretched was an important political consideration.
