Life Magazine 21 July 1969
This special issue of Life Magazine titled 'Off to the Moon' was published 21 July 1969 - the day after Apollo 11 touched down on the lunar surface. The magazine features in depth profiles of the three Apollo 11 astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. It includes pictures from their childhoods and family lives. The magazine also includes an illustrated profile of the Apollo 11 mission.Life was an American magazine that ran until 2007. Time magazine founder, Henry Luce, purchased Life in 1936. Originally a general interest magazine, Luce converted Life to focus more on photojournalism. The Apollo programme and the Moon Landings became a big favourite for the magazine, as the astronauts sent back better and better quality images with every mission that went to the Moon.
