Characters
Neil Armstrong
primary
A 38-year-old man of average height with a lean, athletic build. His face is clean-shaven with sharp features, including a prominent jawline and deep-set eyes that convey quiet intensity. His short brown hair is neatly combed in a conservative 1960s style.
Buzz Aldrin

A 39-year-old astronaut with a lean, athletic build, standing at 5'10". His square jawline is clean-shaven, and his piercing blue eyes reflect both intensity and focus. His dark brown hair is neatly trimmed in a military-style crew cut. His hands are steady, betraying no nervousness despite the monumental occasion.
Michael Collins
secondary
A lean, athletic man in his late 30s with sharp features and closely cropped dark brown hair. His face bears the focused intensity of a test pilot, with faint laugh lines around his eyes suggesting his normally good-humored nature. Standing at approximately 5'11" with the upright posture of military training.
Mission Control Technician
secondary
A middle-aged man in his late 30s with a lean build, short-cropped brown hair, and wire-rimmed glasses. His face shows signs of fatigue from long hours of preparation, but his eyes remain sharp and focused behind his glasses.
Pad Technician
background
A middle-aged man with a lean, wiry build, standing approximately 5'10" tall. His face is weathered from years of outdoor work at the launch complex, with deep tan lines around his eyes from squinting under the Florida sun.
