Description
Looking out of a window of the Lunar Module and down onto the surface of the Moon at the Descartes Highlands landing site we can see the shadow of the spacecraft dominating the top and left of the frame. Commander John Young, climbing down the ladder, can be seen at the edge. Fifty seconds into the clip John pulls a lever and the shadow of the colour TV camera platform can be seen deploying. John continues further down the ladder to the surface, making his speech and then stepping out into the cameras field of view.
