I remember a thread in about 2001 or 2002 that was the most fun I think I've ever had on this forum. The poster you've named (I don't exactly remember either) was embroiled in an argument about the Moon landing, and in a sub-conversation in the same thread, another poster and I were re-writing the whole experience, predicated on speculation about what the first words spoken from another world might have been if Armstrong had twisted his ankle stepping off the lander or something like that.
It was hilarious.
I have purposely avoided 60 minutes for many years so I guess that's why I missed this...((;O)
Buzz claims to be the first man to wet his pants on the Moon. Top that, Armstrong.
Alan Shepard’s reaction remains my favorite. As he stood on the surface of the Moon and looked up at the blue, full Earth in the sky, he wept.
Despite being associated with Ron “Opey sez US Is Militaristic” Howard, the DVD of interviews with (most of) the surviving Apollo astronauts is well worth viewing. And if you get it (out of the library, rent it, whatever) be sure to finish up by watching the additional interview footage.
Ah ha, Beverly Garland. I got that same photo autographed by her some years ago at film festival in Memphis. She was a sweetheart. Unfortunately, she passed away recently.
From what I understand Neil could use our prayers.....he has some problems.....
I didn’t realize she had passed away. She always played one tough cookie. Here’s my favorite scene of hers from that particular movie.

“Reminds me of the Onion story about walking on the moon that had me in tears.”
Was that the one about his supposed “Good luck Mr. Gorski!” comment ?
On the lunar module perhaps?
They really landed on Mars by mistake. I heard it from someone, maybe Shelia Jackson Lee. ;]
Something is not right about that boobie. Looks like a baby alien is trying to burst out of her chest.
