SELECTED

Neil Armstrong

primary

A lean, athletic man in his late 30s with short-cropped brown hair and piercing blue eyes. His face bears the focused intensity of a test pilot, with faint smile lines around his eyes contrasting with the firm set of his jaw. His hands are steady, betraying no nervousness despite the historic moment.

Buzz Aldrin

primary

A 39-year-old astronaut with a lean, athletic build, clean-cut features, and intense blue eyes. His military-short brown hair is neatly groomed, and he has a slight furrow between his brows from constant concentration.

Michael Collins

secondary

A lean, athletic man in his late 30s with short-cropped brown hair and sharp features. His face shows the focused intensity of a test pilot, with faint smile lines around his eyes suggesting a dry sense of humor. His hands rest lightly on the controls, fingers precise and steady.

Mission Control Technician

secondary

A middle-aged man in his late 30s, with a lean build and short-cropped brown hair. His face is clean-shaven, and his eyes are sharp and focused behind thick-rimmed glasses. He has a slight tan from spending long hours indoors under fluorescent lighting.

Spectator

background

A middle-aged man with a sun-weathered face, wearing thick-rimmed glasses that reflect the distant glow of the Saturn V rocket. His salt-and-pepper hair is tousled by the ocean breeze, and he stands with the slightly hunched posture of someone who's worked manual labor for decades.
