A friend of mine posted a photo elsewhere of Neil Armstrong supposedly having briefly de-helmeted while standing on the Moon, to see what effect this would have.
I think my friend must be joking. I have NEVER heard of this prior, nor seen the photo. Google yields no results. I was a little kid during Apollo, know quite a few things about the program though not exhaustively. But I do question this. ? Can anyone advise? Thanks. |

Complete fiction - there are pictures of Neil with his helmet off INSIDE the LEM after the spacewalk finished - but if he had done it on the moon during the EVA it would have meant a very rapid and certain death.
