Neil Armstrong

Perry continued to struggle year after year.

Five years later, on July 20th, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon.

History was made.

That same night, Perry was pitching against the Dodgers.

Yeah.

We've all seen those iconic images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's boot prints pressed perfectly into that gray lunar dust.

They're etched into our collective memory.

And the classic trivia you always hear is, you know, there is no wind, no rain, and no weather on the moon, so those footprints will stay there in pristine condition forever.

What? Who shot that footage? What do you mean? Well,

if Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon then who's holding the camera?

Well, I...

Who's out there with the camera?

No, it's not.

I haven't seen the sketch.

Hey, Mr. Teeterson, what can I do for you? Who shot the moon landing? Neil Armstrong.

No, he was in it.

So it basically means that the footprints up there left by

Neil Armstrong and his other hoaxers.

Mm-hmm.

Got blown the hell away.

This is why pressure breathing is only intended as an emergency technique, giving pilots enough time to descend to safer altitudes.

Above altitudes of around 18,000 meters or 59,000 feet, however, even these techniques become useless as the body crosses what is known as the Armstrong limit, named not after first man on the moon, Neil Armstrong, but rather pioneering US Air Force era medical physician, Major General Harry George Armstrong.

At these altitudes, air pressure is so low that the water boils at room temperature.

If you were to venture into such an environment unprotected, the first thing you would feel is the water starting to bubble away from all your exposed mucous membranes, including your mouth, nose, eyes, and, worst of all, the lining of the lungs.

I appreciate it.

So that last clip featured the iconic moment when Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon.

It seems like we've come a long way since then.

Mark, we asked this earlier, but what, from your perspective, has made industry in space and on the moon seem like such a possibility now versus even a few years ago?

Yes, exactly.

Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong.

I'm going to step off the lamina.

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Back to

TV it is.

I'm fine with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin,

but...

On Sunday, July 20, 1969...

U.S. astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins got into moon orbit.

Armstrong and Aldrin were the first men to walk on the moon while Michael Collins stayed in lunar orbit in the command module.

Okay.

Let's talk about...

Now, the moonwalk is obviously the most...

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, that's the most newsworthy thing that's ever happened in space.

After that, it's the disasters.
