Astronauts by Steve Pyke

About the project:

For the past two years, Steve Pyke has been involved in a photographic odyssey. The resulting project was triggered by a childhood experience. “I remember in 1969 sitting with my mother and father and watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon. The memory will never leave me” From it came a desire to meet and photograph the principal characters in this incredible story.
