Here are Apollo 11 mission photos newly scanned from the original negatives, including this one of the astronauts shortly after they were captured by the Selenite Emperor.

The "quarantine station" looks like the butt end of an Airstream trailer that's been modified for Presidential puppet shows.

It is indeed: Airstream built four 35-foot "Mobile Quarantine Facilities" trailers for NASA at a cost of $250,000, for isolating the astronauts on their return, as well as the crew of the recovery helicopter. The one in use was on the USS Hornet, where the president made monkey faces through the windows, then transfered by jet plane to Houston, where the astronauts's wives (in red, white, and blue dresses) waved through the glass. It's now on display in the National Air and Space Museum.

Beware of Moon Microbes! Men in hazmat type suits sprayed flit on the returing Astromen as they took the few steps on the carrier into the Airstream Decontamination-0-Matic.

I may be one of the younger people with clear memories of the whole thing as broadcast on tv. I was quite surprised some 5 years later to find out that no one else in my school class had recalled the first Moon landing.

My appreciation goes out to the Embassy of the Moon Boggles for being gracious enough to release this photo. Someday soon there may be a lasting peace between our two peoples.
