This is the August 8, 1969, issue of LIFE magazine, titled "ON THE MOON." It features the first photographs and accounts from the lunar surface by astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.

Review:
This is arguably one of the most important and iconic magazine issues ever published. It presented the first images from the lunar surface to a global audience, cementing the event in the public consciousness. A true piece of history.

Author summary:
LIFE magazine's photojournalism was perfectly suited to covering the space race. Their ability to publish stunning, high-quality images of these historic events made the magazine the primary visual record of the era for most people.

The value is high, as this is the most sought-after of the Apollo 11 issues. The grade of this copy is poor, with significant wear, which heavily impacts its value. Its historical interest is immense. It is not extremely rare, but is a cornerstone of any space collection.
