About a year ago I wrote a piece that proved quite popular about the Apollo 11 moon landing, accompanied by a map of the astronauts’ movements about the lunar surface. Strange Maps has published a similar traverse map superimposed onto the outline of a football (soccer) pitch which illustrates well the relatively small area across which Armstrong and Aldrin ambled and bounced. The original image is from a NASA archive site, so click through to the full size version.
