'To be able to look at that American flag and know how much so many people had put of themselves and their work into getting it where it was. We sensed, we really did, this almost mystical unification of all the people in the world at that moment' (Life, August 22, 1969, p. 26). The NASA negative number is AS11-40-5874. Literature: Thomas, p. 195; Hope, p. 24; Jacobs, p. 59.
