So if Neil was the first guy to set foot on the moon, who's taking the pictures?
Camera on a robotic arm.
so then the first steps were not actually when they said but when they went out to place the robotic camera.. which must have happened even before the module landed ....somehow.
No. The camera was mounted on the lander before liftoff. Camera also recorded the descent onto the moon. 16 frames per second. https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/nasa-just-released-an-amazing-new-video-showing-what-neil-armstrong-saw-during-final-crucial-moments-of-moon-landing.html
You may be mentally confusing the external still shot of Armstrong and the flag, (which they explicitly took with a high res (for the time) color camera while they were on the surface) with the actual video showing him stepping off the lander. That video is here...shot from camera mounted on lander, at the rate of 16 frames per second, black and white. https://youtu.be/w4wx_3XOrns
Since when did videos require a man to hold the camera?
The camera mounted on the lander. Controlled by the guy inside the lander. https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/if-neil-armstrong-was-first-on-the-moon-who-filmed-him-on-the-ladder/
Space Faggots From Uranus
Is that the sequel to gayniggers from outer space?
Didn't know they had room to bring beer with them to space.
You'd be surprised at the crazy crap these astronauts brought with them. In those days, they actually piloted the rockets. No computers sophisticated enough to truly automate stuff. As pilots, they were actually in charge of large parts of the mission, and their lives...so they each had a personal preference kit that didn't add significant weight, or endanger the craft. Beer, being a carbonated liquid, would not have been brought on the actual moon flight. However, Aldrin brought a tiny bottle of wine to use to take Communion on the surface, where there was enough gravity to drink from a chalice. https://www.guideposts.org/better-living/life-advice/finding-life-purpose/guideposts-classics-when-buzz-aldrin-took-communion-on-the-moon
If you do a reverse image search on that picture you'll see that the photo was taken onboard the USS Hornet in 1969, as the 3 astronauts were kept in quarantine after splashdown.
The link that comes up for me with that photo is Michael Collins obituary, where it is reprinted and captioned, here: https://www.mercurynews.com/2021/04/28/michael-collins-astronaut-who-traveled-to-moon-on-apollo-11-dies-at-90/
If you don't know how to do a reverse image search, this is a good free site that will search Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, Reddit, etc. I found it via the Google reverse seach. http://imgops.com/
