If you were alive in 1969, you were glued to a TV station as astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped off a ladder and onto the surface of the moon for the first time. While many remember his famous words as he stepped onto the moon, Armstrong actually said “that’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind”, the statement has been a way to remember a brilliant achievement for the human race. Unfortunately, NASA cancelled the moon program not many years after this accomplishment.
