The Moon Landing, 1969 – Apollo 11

Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin couldn’t afford the life insurance policy for an astronaut. The price was extortionate so the three astronauts decided to create a plan of their own to support their families if something bad was to happen. All three signed hundreds of autographs and sent them to a friend. If anything was to happen to the astronauts during their mission, the entrusted friend was to send the autographed memorabilia to each of the astronaut’s families. This way they could make some money by selling the signatures of the Apollo 11 crew. THE ASTRONAUTS DIDN’T HAVE LIFE INSURANCE!

Neil Armstrong’s “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” quote could be one of the most famous lines in history but he actually messed up the delivery of his line! He was meant to say: “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”. ONE SMALL STEP…

The television audience for the event was an estimated 600 million, which held the record for 12 years until the royal wedding of Princess Diana to Prince Charles in This grabbed a TV audience of 750 million. HOW MANY PEOPLE TUNED IN?!

After gathering some Moon samples, taking some pictures and raising the American flag, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin returned to the Lunar Module, only to realize that a switch on a crucial circuit breaker had broken. This particular broken switch left them without a way to ignite the engine, so they tried to sleep while the mission control team at NASA tried to find a way to repair it. Eventually Aldrin decided that enough was enough and jammed his pen into the mechanism creating a make-shift switch. Surprisingly enough this quick-fix worked and launched both Aldrin and Armstrong off the lunar surface HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

What flag would we see on the moon if we were to visit right now? Unfortunately, the fate of that flag is quite sad as it was later knocked over when Armstrong and Aldrin launched the Lunar Module back into lunar orbit to join with Collins in the Command Module. After Aldrin hit the button to begin the launch he looked out the window and watched as the infamous flag was blasted away with the rest of the material left behind on the lunar surface. THE FLAG!

President Nixon had a speech prepared in case of the mission’s fatal failure. It was called “In Event of Disaster” and began with the line: “fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay to rest in peace” WHAT IF IT ALL WENT WRONG?!

As the Apollo 11 team arrived safely on the Earth, the crew were brought to Hawaii. Despite being the three most famous men at the time, as they had just landed on the Moon safely and returned, they were still asked to fill out a customs and declarations form at security. As you can imagine, in the section asking “Departure From:” the Apollo 11 crew had to write “The Moon”. COMING HOME!
