Aldrin explains how to make a sandwich under zero-gravity conditions. When this picture was taken, Apollo 11 was approximately 137,000 nautical miles from Earth, traveling at a speed of about 4,300 feet per second. The astronauts of Apollo 11 consumed ham sandwiches, rehydratable drinks and "fortified fruit strips" during their lunar excursion.
