This stunningly beautiful Fine Art Textured Canvas Limited Edition Print is a portrait of Astronaut Neil Armstrong after placing his first step on the Moon, the reflection of Eagle the Lunar Module is beautifully visible in Neil Armstrong's spacesuit visor and saying his first now famous words,
"That's one small step for man. One giant leap for Mankind."
This, the first time man stepped and walked on the Moon - The 20th July 1969 [4.19pm EDT in the USA]
Issued as a challenge in the early 1960s by John F. Kennedy to land a Man on the Moon and return him to Earth before the end of the 1960s, 'The First Human Footprint' in July 1969 was always going to be one of the greatest achievements of 'Mankind and Americans'.
Neil Armstrong’s footprint on the Moon will serve as an eternal testament to the can-do ability of mankind. Unfortunately, there are no good photographs of this moment and although the black-and-white television image was not very good for that first moonwalk, the soundtrack is still very clear.
This exciting Moon Art is truly a unique opportunity to own a stunning portrait of Neil Armstrong as he looked up, after his 'First Step', at 'Buzz Aldrin' and the Lunar Module Eagle.

Alan Bean's distinguishing art! The tools Alan Bean used to explore the Moon were also used by him to put the Moon's stamp on each painting he created. Exact replicas of his Moon boots were used to make footprints across the painting's surface, reminiscent of the Apollo boot prints remaining on the Moon today. Streaks etched on the painting's surface are from the same geology hammer he used on the Apollo 12 mission. Finally, a sharp edged bit from one of the core tubes is used to make the circular indentations in the surface. These are beautifully captured in each edition.
Description (Space and Aviation Firsts © 2017-2023).
'First Human Footprint' 'Neil Armstrong [CMDR] Apollo 11 Canvas Limited Edition Print signed by Alan Bean [LMP] Apollo 12 is exciting Moon Art and a defining classic by Alan Bean.
“I talked with Neil for quite a while before I started this painting. I wanted to know which rung he was holding with his right hand as he stepped off the ladder with his left foot and how far around the landing pad was his right foot? He remembered most things but we agreed there were some details we just couldn’t remember from our missions.
I had difficulty accurately painting the reflection in the visor, so I went out to the Johnson Space Center where they have a lunar module. A friend of mine, wearing a gold helmet, posed in the same position that Neil was in on the moon. Then I painted what was in the visor.
As the centuries unfold, there will be other first footprints in our future - first on Mars, on an asteroid, on a moon of Jupiter and on a planet around a different star. They will be much farther away than our Moon but none will ever be a more giant leap for humankind than the one made by Neil Armstrong and all the people who helped him make that leap on July 21, 1969."
This 'First Human Footprint' signed by Alan Bean captures all the vivid color and brilliance of the original Alan Bean’s work of art
The 'hallmark' of a Master Space Artist is in their ability to show different types of moments in the harsh environment of space and its different elements. This art is outstanding for the way Alan Bean captures the stunning moment when the World and Humankind stopped to witness Mankind's first steps on another celestial body The Moon. As importantly it represented the achievements of the many people who worked so hard to achieve the successes of the NASA Space Programs of Mercury, Gemini and Apollo in the fields of endeavor, exploration, science and wonder, which are still evident today.
Own a Fine Art Edition by astronaut and explorer Alan Bean and you will never look at the Moon the same way again.
This art is a true gift to display and enjoy and then hand down, by the first artist to visit another celestial body, the Moon.
There were some moments in the 20th Century that were totally iconic. The Apollo Journeys and Moon Landings were the greatest moments as they were Mankind's First Visits and Steps on another Celestial Body, the Moon.

Mission Profile (source Wikipedia)
Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930-August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer who was the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor.
A graduate of Purdue University, Armstrong studied aeronautical engineering with his college tuition paid for by the U.S. Navy under the Holloway Plan. He became a midshipman in 1949, and a naval aviator the following year. He saw action in the Korean War. Later, he completed his bachelor's degree at Purdue and became a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station at Edwards Air Force Base in California. He was the project pilot on Century Series fighters and flew the North American X-15 seven times. He was also a participant in the U.S. Air Force's Man in Space Soonest and X-20 Dyna-Soar human spaceflight programs.
Armstrong joined the NASA Astronaut Corps in the second group, which was selected in 1962. He made his first spaceflight as commander of Gemini 8 in March 1966, becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space. During this mission with pilot David Scott, he performed the first docking of two spacecraft; the mission was aborted after Armstrong used some of his reentry control fuel to remove a dangerous spin caused by a stuck thruster. During training for Armstrong's second and last spaceflight as commander of Apollo 11, he had to eject from the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle moments before a crash.
In July 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin performed the first manned Moon landing, and spent two and a half hours outside the spacecraft while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the command and service module. When Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, he famously said: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind." Along with Collins and Aldrin, Armstrong was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Richard Nixon. President Jimmy Carter presented Armstrong with the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978, and Armstrong and his former crewmates received a Congressional Gold Medal in 2009.
Apollo 11 was the spaceflight that landed the first two humans on the Moon. Mission commander Neil Armstrong and pilot Buzz Aldrin, both American, landed the lunar module Eagle on July 20, 1969, at 20:18 UTC. Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the lunar module Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquillity.
Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surface six hours later on July 21 at 02:56:15 UTC; Aldrin joined him about 20 minutes later. They spent about two and a quarter hours together outside the spacecraft, and collected 47.5 pounds [21.5 kg] of lunar material to bring back to Earth. They stayed a total of about 21.5 hours on the lunar surface.
Michael Collins piloted the command module Columbia alone in lunar orbit while they were on the Moon's surface.
About Alan Bean
This fine art offering is from a terrific Fine Art Artist and Astronaut who walked upon the Moon and is truly a 'Lifetime' opportunity.
Obtaining Alan's work such as this in future years is nigh impossible, especially for a 'Historic Subject' such as this. 'That's how it Felt to Walk Upon The Moon' which sold out commercially in 1988 soon after its release, is one such example.
Alan Bean Original Paintings now typically sell for US250,000 to US$500,000, but were sometimes US30,000 in the 1980s. Alan Bean Master Art Work Limited Editions typically increase in value over time as well.
Astronaut and artist Alan Bean was not only the first artist to paint a world other than our Earth who actually went there, he was the first in history to paint our Earth after viewing it from space. His art's significance as the original human interpretative record of man's first off-world experience will only increase in its importance and value over time.
Alan Bean, Astronaut and Alexey Leonov, Cosmonaut were the only Space Travellers to become Fine Art Artists. Enjoy the beauty of Alan Bean's Moon Art upon your wall from the only Astronaut who walked upon the Moon and then became a fine art Space Artist.
