Updated July 19, 2007—On July 20, 1969, half a billion people watched as Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon.
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," he said, before imprinting his boot in the lunar dust. The televised images were relayed to Earth from a camera mounted on a leg of the Apollo 11 lunar module. Armstrong was joined on the moon by fellow crewmember Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. Above them a third astronaut, Michael Collins, orbited in the mission's command module.
Armstrong and Aldrin spent only a few hours on the moon setting up some simple experiments. They left their footprints, a United States flag, and a plaque that reads: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the Moon—July 1969 A.D.—We came in peace for all mankind."
I was spending the night with a friend, we watched it in their
cool color TV, they were rich....lol
Do you remember where you were?
or still a tadpole?   |

I saw this in the past weeks where it was determined he had said it and they were delighted.
I think it would have been on the Jim Lehrer hour? , thats what I watch to catch up on American news:) Any way I say it this way now:)

I was almost a year old and don't remember any of it, but I know that the quote has meant a lot to me over the years.
I also got very pissed when they recently came up with this crazy notion that it was all faked . . . I know that until we go to the Moon, it actually can't be proven either way, and it may that the skeptics are right.
Either way, I will hold on to the hope that the statement inspires. |
