On Saturday, at the age of 82, Neil Armstrong died of complications from cardiovascular procedures. Forty-three years ago, on July 20, 1969, he became the first person to set foot on the moon, declaring, “That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.” In addition to his historic steps on the moon, which were watched intently on TV by an estimated 600 million people worldwide, Armstrong will be remembered for his strong character and deep humility.
“While we mourn the loss of a very good man, we also celebrate his remarkable life and hope that it serves as an example to young people around the world to work hard to make their dreams come true, to be willing to explore and push the limits, and to selflessly serve a cause greater than themselves,” said the Armstrong family statement.
The statement went on, “For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”

C. Fred Kleinknect, head of NASA at the time of the Apollo Space Program, is now the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Council of the 33rd Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction. It was his reward for pulling it off....APOLLO IS LUCIFER. And remember, that the international flag of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry is the United Nations Flag (according to their own site). As Bill Cooper points out, the United Nations Flag depicts the nations of the world encircled by the laurel of Apollo

(I wish that Indians HADN't made a sick joke about it, specifically on him hearing a shout of "chai!" immediately after making his speech)
To the tune of REM's song: 'If you believe, they put a man on the moon, I got a bridge to sell you.
However, I heard this story from a NASA engineer, but I do not know whether or not it is true.
The first words Neil Armstrong uttered upon setting foot on the moon was not the famous "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind."
NASA was concerned that the moon lander might have landed next to a precipice covered by a thin layer of moon dust; so Armstrong, before the cameras were running, carefully stepped off the ladder. When asked about his footing, he replied, "It's kinda mushy."
It appears to be reasonable, but can anyone else give me verification of this?
