Extra large headlines on ''The New York Times'' from 21 July 1969 reflecting national excitement about the Apollo 11 mission: ''Astronauts Land on Plain. Collect Rocks, Plant Flag''. Mission Control transcript begins with now iconic quote: ''Eagle has landed''. The 68 page 15'' x 23'' newspaper features front page photos of the astronauts' first steps on the lunar surface plus a full page of photos inside. Tears to top half of page one, else very good.
