First man on the moon (after shafting Buzz Aldrin out of the honour which is a story I'll tell you about later in the thread)

 

A true legend.

 

One small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind.

 

Buzz hasn't forgiven him.

 

 

[NorthernLights24]

Even though he was 82, which is a good innings for anyone I was still shocked when I flicked to the BBC News channel and heard the news.

So Armstrong strong armed himsel to the front of the que?

 

Typical Yank manners IMO.

[Big Man]

Sad stuff.

 

He did some interesting things in his life.

 

RIP

[OddJob]

Bit of a shame that he felt the need to be reclusive as if he never achieved something so important in his life

 

RIP

[granite sheep]

RIP to a the first man to achieve what only a handful have repeated, to walk on another world. The man was an inspiration to us all and long may he be remembered.

I'm gonna need to lie to my future grandkids about what I was doing when the first man on the moon died... "Grandad was being a sad fuck trying to stay in on a Saturday night because he was so fucked on Friday. Trying to nurse a single beer through the whole night because he missed lidls and losing at poker online."

It could be worse...

If indeed the "moon landings" were real... undecided, myself.

[tightbreeks]

apollo 18 was on sky, good movie but could've gone further with a bigger budget.

[bonzodaddy73]

It's quite an interesting conspiracy theory the Apollo 18 issue..

The guy lived out every young lads dream. R.I.P

Turns out I was a bit harsh on myself there, just finished the same tourney got 2nd (first loser I'll admit) outta 72.

 

Either they landed on the moon (they did) or it was a really magic hoax multiple times ( on the success of that if true).

Apollo 11 certainly was.

So what's the story with buzz?

[The Boofon]

So what's the story with buzz?

 

 

I don't like to talk about it too much.

 

Buzz and I sat together on a flight from Amsterdam to Moscow a few years ago when I was going off to work in Sakhalin Island.

 

Walking towards the gate with a guy from work and a few folk walk past us with European space agency tshirts and rucksacks. One of them has "Buzz Aldrin" written on his rucksack which made me chuckle. Gets to the gate and I look at him and realsie it is Buzz Aldrin but my mate reckons I'm full of it. Get onto the plane and sit down with the complimentary champagne (Flying business class due to distances involved in overall journey Aberdeen to Sakhalin)

 

Gentleman with the Buzz Aldrin rucksack goes to sit alongside me and as he's going past I see his boarding pass has the name "Buzz Aldrin"

 

I'm not afraid to say I almost pissed my pants with excitement. Not very often you get to fly with someone who has been on the moon.

 

Fantastic guy although not the chattiest man on the planet. (Not that he's always been on the planet) It wasn't the smoothest of flights either as the weather was pretty rotten but to be fair to Buzz he took the turbulence in his stride which I guess isn't too surprising given he's been on somewhat more bumpy flights in his day. Anyway as the flight lands in Moscow and we were getting ready to get off the plane he had a little trouble getting his suit jacket on when the plane had landed and I gave him some assistance before posing for a photo with him and we then all hopped off the plane.

 

"Thank you sir. If only Neil Armstrong had been so helpful I'd have been the first."

 

Now I'm not saying those were his exact words but it doesn't take a rocket scientist or indeed an astronaut to work out what he implied.

 

You work it out from there.

 

It's an out of this world experience that's way up there and tops meeting Colonel Gaddafi, having a meal with Jessica Simpson and telling Richard Wilson (Victor Meldrew) in Heathrow that "I don't believe it" (All of those incidents occurred separately)

First man on the moon my arse, it was all a hoax I reckon.

Quality story Boof. Really surprised to hear Neil Armstrong has popped his clogs, I thought he was in good health. A sad day.

Oh dear.

[Bobby Connor]

Buzz Aldrin is actually the far more interesting personality of the two. From what I've heard he was considered a bit of a maverick and wild boy. Armstrong was the steady head.

[OddJob]

I've felt the L7 bass players tits.

Is that the one who always got her cunt out?

[dervish]

That is a magic story would be so amazing to be sitting next to a legend like that.

 

Found this on it.

 

Initially, it was planned that Buzz Aldrin, the Lunar Module Pilot would be the first to set foot on the Moon. However, it was determined that because of the positions of the astronauts in the module, it would require Aldrin to physically crawl over Armstrong to reach the hatch. As such, it was decided that it would be easier for Armstrong to exit the module first upon landing.

 

Maybe in some trial of it Neil got in the road and they changed the plan?

Not a good week for the Armstrongs. FIrst Lance, now Neil.

 

Watch out Stretch.
