DC Tom Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 He did not, it was Deke Slaton's final call for the reasons I stated above. He was just closer to the damn hatch and it would have been immpossible for Buzz to get around him and out the door first with the giant, square backpacks. Although Slaton did point out that Armstrong was the commander and should get out of the LM first on principle... I know. I was just pointing out that even from a common-sense point of view, it's ridiculous. It's not like they were on a beer run and Neil ignored Buzz when he called "Shotgun!"
BRAWNDO Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Thanks for "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"!!! A true American hero!! Well said I know. I was just pointing out that even from a common-sense point of view, it's ridiculous. It's not like they were on a beer run and Neil ignored Buzz when he called "Shotgun!"
truth on hold Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Would be appropriate to spread his ashes on the moon
DC Tom Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Would be appropriate to spread his ashes on the moon Would be appropriate to fly the flag at half-staff. But I'm not finding where that proclamation was given.
Jim in Anchorage Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Would be appropriate to spread his ashes on the moon Better yet, Mars. First man on the Moon AND Mars.
TheMadCap Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Better yet, Mars. First man on the Moon AND Mars. even if it was in his personal wishes for burial, and even with his status at NASA, it would be improbable. Manned missions are planned down to the ounce of weight, it seems unlikely they would scrap something for the mission to do it. Just saying...

bbb Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Let's take a moment to remember the greatest moment in NASA history. Buzz Aldrin punching a dbag conspiracy theorist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wcrkxOgzhU Buzz was 72 then BTW.

And if you google the incident, you'll find people suggesting that the altercation was staged as part of the continuing cover-up of the faked moon landing...
/dev/null Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 5 dead in Ohio! There's a sale at Pennys!

DrDawkinstein Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Better yet, Mars. First man on the Moon AND Mars. This is actually a pretty f%$&in' cool idea.
CowgirlsFan Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Would be appropriate to fly the flag at half-staff. But I'm not finding where that proclamation was given. I hope there is a proclamation too!! It would be a shame!!
spartacus Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Would be appropriate to spread his ashes on the moon they would have to get there for the 1st time much easier to stage the spreading of ashes on the Moon in a movie studio - just like how they "landed" on the Moon the first time
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Even as somebody who didn't live through the moon landing, this cartoon from the NYT choked me up a little. http://i.imgur.com/1PH29.jpg
