Both are great. But here is the link to the Armstrong reconstruction… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPXitv2CRJs
I looked everywhere for that and couldn’t find it. Thanks! The Aldrin video has the altitude displayed in the lower right corner, while the Armstrong video just as a running clock. For a second I was taken aback because he came across a lunar descent stage and then sat down right on top of it. ^_^ They perhaps should have edited his old descent stage out of the LRO data for the video.

It is like a ghost track in a racing game.
You can’t tell from the video, but that neighborhood used to be all orange groves.
