Neil Alden, the unsung hero of the Apollo 11 mission, played a crucial role in mankind's first steps on the Moon. While his name may not be as widely recognized as Buzz Aldrin or Neil Armstrong, his contributions were invaluable. As part of the crew alongside Armstrong and Michael Collins, Neil Alden worked tirelessly to ensure the success of this historic endeavor. In July 1969, when Buzz Aldrin made history by stepping onto the lunar surface during the Apollo II mission, it was Neil Alden who had meticulously planned and executed every detail leading up to that momentous event. From deploying solar wind collectors to conducting experiments on the moon's surface, he left no stone unturned in expanding our understanding of outer space. As Buzz stood proudly next to the American flag planted firmly on lunar soil, it was thanks to Neil's unwavering dedication that this iconic image became etched into our collective memory. He captured these unforgettable moments through his lens while also ensuring that everything ran smoothly behind-the-scenes. Neil Alden's attention to detail extended even beyond their time on the Moon. His expertise in scientific experiments allowed for groundbreaking discoveries with components like Early Apollo Scientific Experiments. And let us not forget about those footprints imprinted forever on lunar dust – a testament to human achievement and exploration facilitated by Neil's meticulous planning. Upon their return home aboard Recovery Ship USS Hornet, President Richard M. Nixon warmly welcomed these brave astronauts back to Earth, and is important we acknowledge that without individuals like Neil Alden working diligently behind-the-scenes, such monumental achievements would never have been possible. So today we honor Neil Alden for his integral role in shaping history during one small step for man but one giant leap for mankind.
