VaBeachGuy 12 Posted July 20, 2003 On July 20th 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to actually land on another 'world', open the hatch and step outside. Neil Armstrong was the first human to set foot on the moon, but Buzz Aldrin was actually the first person to speak from the moon. Those first words spoken while in contact with the moon were simple, un-historic and strictly meant for Neil Armstrong's use and for NASA as well. They were "Contact Light", which was to announce to Neil and NASA that the lunar module had touched the surface and signal Armstrong to shut the engine down. Today marks the 34th anniversary of that day when the Lunar Module came to rest on the Sea Of Tranquility and 4 hours later Neil and Buzz made their historic walk in the sun. http://www.startrekfans.net/music/smallstep.swf To discuss Apollo 11 click Here.
