About this piece

Original Atlanta Constitution newspaper from Atlanta, Georgia, Monday, July 21, 1969 (Vol. 102, No. 30), under the headline "Astronauts Walk On Moon's Surface," with "'Great Leap' For All Men" and "Nixon Cheers Apollo." The masthead reads 40 Pages, 3 Sections, Ten Cents. Folded size about 16.2 x 11.7 in. Condition: center fold, toning, edge wear, a darker strip along the right edge, and a small dark smudge on the headline, with no tape or missing pieces seen.

Below the fold are "City Moonwatchers Have Mixed Feeling on Landing," an editorial, and a partial transcript of the moon ride conversation.

This is the morning-after edition reporting the first moonwalk.
