CHALLENGE: What Happens on the Moon

Last week was the http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/40th/index.html - 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 crew returning back to Earth.

Therefore, we want you to create a scene showing what happened on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission while the cameras were off; what did we not see? What did the astronauts not tell us about?

Be creative - your scene does not need to be entirely realistic (in fact it can be downright ridiculous if you want). For example, you could pixel a scene where Neil Armstrong is sitting on the moon's surface with a laptop and logging onto Pixel Joint.

Don't forget to check out the Apollo 11 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11 - Wikipedia article for further information on the moon landing.

Canvas Size - Max 120 x 180. Either horizontal or vertical.
Colours - Max 46. Use only colours from the palette provided below, you may use transparency. Colours are taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aldrin_Apollo_11.jpg - this image .



Transparency - Optional.
Animation - Optional.

@Spirou: Kinda reminds me of Dex's stuff, the way you rendered :D

Since I've got a background this counts as a scene. Right? D:

I plan to animate him to say "Aliens"- Is that alright too? :S
