With the world mourning Neil Armstrong's passing at age 82, a series of unseen images taken by Nasa allow a glimpse into the astronaut's preparations for the legendary 1969 Apollo 11 mission to the moon.

So the other week we showcased some Time Magazine Covers – and you guys seemed to really enjoy them! So today we are showcasing another iconic magazine – LIFE Magazine.

“Think of the first night as the dress rehearsal. If we can just get through the play once tonight - for doors and sardines. That’s what it’s all about, doors and sardines. Getting on, getting off. Getting the sardines on, getting the sardines off. That’s farce. That’s theatre. That’s life.” --Noises Off
