Findings

Original research syntheses — reports, reconstructions, and side-by-side comparisons that read across the whole collection. Every claim cites back to the source notes and the 24 primary documents.

The collection

Reconstructions of a single moment

• The last three minutes Eagle’s final approach braided across three independent voice records, then measured against the 2011 LROC image (West crater stands ~490 m from the descent stage, not the rounded “~400 m”).
• One moment, three records the landing and the first step, set side by side across the air-to-ground, onboard, and PAO records.
• One hour, four layers the EVA-prep overrun traced through the full procedural chain.

The moonwalk against its plan

• Plan vs. actual the moonwalk measured against the pre-flight script.
• Apollo 11 EVA — annotated master timeline the minute-by-minute chronology of the first moonwalk.
• Anomalies and malfunctions register every malfunction the Mission Report logged (§16), transcribed.

The samples and the site

• Where did each rock actually come from? a provenance biography of all 53 returned samples.
• Returned samples — master table every Apollo 11 sample in one table.
• Tranquility Base photo-map the sampling zones and deployed hardware annotated on the orbital image.

Reading across the record

• The discrepancy ledger where the primary record disagrees with itself.
• Memory vs. record Armstrong’s 2001 oral history against the 1969 documents, on four episodes.
• What did Apollo 11 actually establish about the Moon? the first-order scientific results, synthesized.
