It wasn't until we were back on Earth and in the Lunar Receiving Laboratory looking over the pictures that we realized there were few pictures of Neil. My fault perhaps, but we had never simulated this during our training." "We didn't spend any time worrying about who took what pictures," Armstrong recalled. "It didn't occur to me that it made any difference, as long as they were good. I don't think Buzz had any reason to take my picture, and it never occurred to me that he

Aldrin trained for the original Gemini XII EVA version which was then revised to eliminate the task of using a manned maneuvering unit. Aldrin returned to the McDonogh facility and trained for the final version of his EVA. NASA considered the flight EVA to be a total success, and Aldrin again
