The finest moment in American history. Nobody could or would ever beat his accomplishment. Anybody trying to out do him would fall short. All he’d have to say is “ big deal,I was the first man on the moon. Beat that Poindexter.”
That is a great claim. One that may have been used quite a bit.
Roosa from Apollo 14 had a claim that’s almost as cool in my mind.
His photos from the lunar command module showing the moon and earth at the same time are the only only taken by man.
Which means all the people from our known sphere, dead or alive, EXCEPT him are in the photo. That includes every astronaut.
To me that is a cool but very little known piece of trivia.
