AS 11-40-5902 - Buzzin' Buzz!

Caption NASA originale:"110:42:14 MT - Buzz is standing just beyond the north strut. Note the distinctive dust smudges on Buzz's legs. The photo also shows the furrows in the bulk sample area and the area to the left of the footpad that shows unmistakable signs of sweeping by the descent engine exhaust. In a detail Ulli Lotzmann notes a reflected image of the rendezvous radar. Karl Dodenhoff writes that the strap hanging down from behind Buzz's RCU is the neck ring pull-down strap. It connected to the pull down locking mechanism that also served as the upper PLSS/RCU attachment fitting on the chest of the A7L suit." Mick Hyde provides a photo taken in 2002 of Bill Ander's Apollo 8 suit at the Science Museum London. The strap is tucked into a pouch. The A7L suit was used prior to Apollo 15, when the LM crews started using the A7L-B".
