Well, you see, during all of the years that the design and development project
was going on to take men to the moon, there was also a similar design and
development project going on with the purpose of bringing them back.
When it was time to launch Apollo 11, they put it all together, and launched three
astronauts toward the moon ... don't forget Michael Collins. He went into orbit
around the moon with Armstrong and Aldrin, but he didn't descend to the lunar
surface with them.
Armstrong and Aldrin dropped down to the surface of the moon, stayed there for a
while, then came back to orbit, joined up with Collins again, and all three of them
returned to Earth. They all lived happily ever after, and 42 years later, in mid-2011,
they're all alive and well.
Every Apollo astronaut who was launched and got as far as Earth-orbit returned
safely to Earth, including all of the ones who walked on the moon.
Michael Collins was the third member of Apollo 11 with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. Collins was unable to go to the moon in the Apollo 11 mission because the lander could only fit two people, and the command module was not able to run on auto-pilot for the mission-critical activities such as rendezvous and docking of the LM. Instead he was in the Columbia, orbiting the moon.
If there's ever been someone named Louse Armstrong who walked on the earth, I haven't been able to find any record of him/her. LOUIS Armstrong, the famous trumpet player, band leader and vocalist died July 6th, 1971 in New York City at the age of 70.
Neil Armstrong served as backup commander and Capsule Communicator for the 8 day Gemini 5 mission. Buzz Aldrin was also a Capcom for Gemini 5. As backup for Gemini 8, Armstrong fell into the position of Commander of Gemini 8. Most of the crews who were backups rotated to prime 3 missions later. Armstrong's backup Co-Pilot for Gemini 5 was Elliott See. However NASA felt that See should be Commander of his own flight and was assigned to Command Gemini 9, and Dave Scott replaced See on Gemini 8. During Gemini 8, Armstrong performed the first docking between 2 vehicles in space when he docked with an unmanned Agena vehicle. A few hours after docking, the 2 vehicles began an uncontrolled spin, turning one revolution every second. On the verge of blacking out, Armstrong was able to bring his vehicle under control. The flight rules dictated that Armstrong bring the vehicle back to earth on the next revolution. He performed the only emergency landing in NASA history. Had he not been able to gain control of the vehicle, the 2 astronauts would have blacked out and died. They were beginning to get tunnel vision when Armstrong gained control Tunnel vision is the begining of blacking out. Armstrong's performance during Gemini 8 put him at the top of the list of astronauts to make the first landing on the moon. Following Gemini 8, Armstrong became the backup commander of Gemini 11. He was the backup commander for Apollo 8. He did not fly again until Apollo 11. Apollo 11 was his last spaceflight.
I have a copy of a print by Edwin Anderson showing Cupid at the piano, with a man and woman seated on a love seat. Is this the lithograph you are looking for? It has a copyright date of 1906, but I haven't been able to find any other information about it.
The original Stretch Armstrong was produced in 1976 by Kenner. He was a 14" latex action figure filled with corn-syrup, giving him the ability to return to his normal size and shape after being stretched and stretched.Then in the 1990's Cap Toys, Just Toys and SULC Toys Produced a few new stretch figures, including Cap Toys "new and improved" Stretch Armstrong! Along with the new Stretch Armstrong, Cap Toys also produced these figures:Fetch Armstrong - Stretch Armstrong's little brown Canine side-kickVac-Man - Stretch Armstrong's big, red, arch Enemy. A very unique figure in which you pump out the air using the vac-pump, and he is able to remain in any position until press the release button on the side of his head.Ninja Stretch Armstrong - A derivative of the Cap Toys Stretch Armstrong, with black skin, and ninja clothes. He also comes with a ninja mask, Nun-chucks, and battle swords.

Many people don't know, but the first footage of a man on the moon ( Neil Armstrong) was taken by the camera on the side of the lunar module Eagle. This was able to be deployed by Armstrong just before exiting. After that, Armstrong photographed Aldrin, the second man on the moon with a hand-held camera. There were also five other missions where the same methods were used to photograph a total of twelve astronauts on the moon's surface.
Anyone alive in July of 1969 who was not blind would have been able to observe the moon at that time.
You wont be able to get Billie Joe Armstrong's number.

As far as we have been able to ascertain Neil Armstrong did not leave a note behind on the Moon, if he did then it has been kept very quiet for almost 40 years.Buzz Aldrin carried a Silicon Disc, with messages from over 73 different countries to be dropped on the surface of the Moon along with a gold Olive Branch, Aldrin almost forgot to drop the disc, which he carried in a pocket sewn on his suit glove.Also there was a Plaque on the bottom half of the LM (which is still on the moon's surface today)The plaque reads:HERE MEN FROM THE PLANET EARTHFIRST SET FOOT UPON THE MOONJULY 1969, A.D.WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND.
On Earth, he probably wouldn't. During his Moon trip, the lower gravity on the Moon - 1/6 of Earth - would make 8 metres jump no big deal.
The Apollo 11 astronauts were responsible for piloting the spacecraft to the Moon, conducting experiments, collecting samples, and communicating with mission control. Neil Armstrong was the mission commander and pilot of the Lunar Module, Buzz Aldrin was the Lunar Module pilot, and Michael Collins piloted the Command Module in lunar orbit.
On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin became the first humans to land on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission. Armstrong famously remarked, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," as he stepped onto the lunar surface.
Some say you can still see it from Earth's Orbit, but not from the moon according to astronauts. One of the astronauts was Neil Armstrong.
He was able to fly planes and things at the age of 16
When people went to the moon they where a little scared that they could died. But they did not die on the way to the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first people on the moon. Neil said" one big step" when they landed on the moon. The scariest part of the moon missions came in Apollo 13. An explosion on the spaceship on the way to the moon made it very difficult for the astronauts to make it safely back to the earth. They were finally able to return safely, but it was very scary for a few days.
