Apollo 11 was the American spaceflight that first landed humans on the Moon. Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin landed the Apollo Lunar Module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:17 UTC, and Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon's surface six hours and 39 minutes later, on July 21 at 02:56 UTC
There’s so much context missing:
The watch reads 3:05 so it's either brunch, or maybe he's a little bonkers with his sleep schedule? Based on what looks like the shadow from sunlight on the wall, I'm going with he's having a late brunch. Don't judge the man. You've never had a delicious plate of bacon edit: (Yes, I know it's steak) and eggs cause you felt like it?
He's a brand ambassador for Omega Speedwatch, which is part of why he does it, but he usually has several watches on.
Knowing this dude's public persona, I'm going with Rings on.
I think that may be the breakfast he had on launch day. I read the book that Michael Collins wrote (highly recommended) and what's on that plate matches my memory.
Looking at it, I might try to make this breakfast for dinner this week...
Carrying the Fire! Awesome book - I read it a few years ago. Collins always added a wonderful perspective.
That breakfast is pretty killer though. I see that and I want to grow up to be an astronaut too.
Man has the time for 3 different planets.
Buzz Aldrin is iced out.
So many watches: East coast time, West coast time, and moon time.
