Lunar Review

When the Apollo 11's lunar module landed in the "Sea of Tranquility" July 21st, 1969 Neil Armstong became the first men to step on the moon. A few seconds later Buzz Aldrin became the second man to walk on the moon. In my opinion, Neil Armstrong was the winner of the most consequential "rock, paper, scissors" match since JFK, just after arriving in Lovefield airport, agreed to ride in the convertible with the top down because Jackie pulled "scissors" while he pulled "paper". He thought, "It's only Elm Street. What's there but a few trees and a book depository? What's the worst that could happen?" Now almost six years later, Neil Armstrong, who had just won an epic victory of "best two out of three" with paper and later rock against Buzz Aldrin stepped down the ladders of the lunar module to the lunar surface. Shortly after stepping down the ladder, he said these immortal words to half a billion people watching at home, "One step for man, one giant leap for mankind." while Buzz was thinking, "Why did I pick rock?"
