Straightening Our Stripes by astronaut artist Alan Bean.

 

July 20, 1969 - The Sea of Tranquility. " Neal Armstrong's first step," Alan Bean says, "May have been for all mankind, but the Apollo program that put Buzz Aldrin and Neil on the moon was an American one. To many astronauts, the flag represented the best efforts of a nation that rose to and met President John F. Kennedy's challenge of landing a man on the moon."
