   The Camera That Went To The Moon And Changed How We See It   
      
   In the summer of 1962, Walter Schirra — who would soon become   
   America's third man to orbit the Earth — walked into a Houston photo   
   supply shop looking for a camera he could take into space.   
      
   He came out with a Hasselblad 500C, a high-end Swedish import that had   
   been recommended to him by photographers from Life and National   
   Geographic.   
      
   "He was sort of an amateur photographer," Jennifer Levasseur, a   
   curator in charge of the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum's   
   astronaut cameras, says of Schirra. "Somewhere along the line, the   
   decision was made that he could select what camera was flown on his   
   flight."
