Apollo 11 - Buzz Aldrin Descends Ladder to Lunar Surface

Television clip of Buzz descending the ladder and stepping onto the moon. On arriving at the footpad, he tries to jump up to the ladder again and fails, but succeeds on his second attempt. After remarking to Neil on the beautiful view (Magnificent desolation) he jumps from the footpad onto the surface.

@Luuhszmiih Because the video camera has an after-image. Things don't look transparent unless they are moving.
