Astronauts Were Taking Selfies Before They Were Cool
A new archive collects thousands of vintage NASA photos on Flickr, including candid shots from the Apollo missions.
Some shots of the Apollo missions are iconic, like the ones of Neil Armstrong taking “one small step for man” and planting the American flag on the moon’s surface. But you’ve probably never seen this shadow selfie taken by one of the astronauts on Apollo 11 back in 1965.
Or this selfie by astronaut Donn F. Eisele during the Apollo 7 mission.
