I remember a line from the teen TV show “VicTORIous”: "Remember how the first guy who walked on the moon said, ‘One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’? I would have just said, “Oh, my God! I’m on the moon!”
Number Six: Armstrong later clarified: He actually said, “One small step for A man…” You may recall the transmission was choppy; “A man” clearly makes sense, and so does Neal’s later explanation.
Buzz Aldrin would certainly have something to DO to people who claimed the moon landing was fake. Especially if the person in question stuck a Bible in his face and demanded he wear he’d been on the Moon. I admire old Buzz for his actions that day.
Whether or not Neil Armstrong meant to say “one small step for man” or “one small step for a man”, I’m glad he was the first one to set foot on the moon rather than some other guys on the astronaut pool. One claimed later that he would have said, “Oh, my God! What’s that thing over there? It’s getting closer!! AAAUUUGGHHH…” That would have involved turning off the camera for proper effect, but still…
He’s got a Theme song, too:.DOG ON THE MOON – BY GARRY NOVIKOFF.I went down to the park just to fill up the day.I saw folks playing Frisbee and catching some rays.And I felt a bit down when it got to the day’s end,Wishing that there could be more to my weekend,When out of the blue came a dog with his master.A perfect little terrier, white alabasterWith a glint in his eye and a confidence in his gait.Even when lifting his right leg to urinate,He seemed to say he was somehow superior.And me, I was thinking, “This dog seems familiar.”I stared at the hound, and then that’s when it came to me,Bringing back memories of this doggy’s fame to me.This dog was not any regular Rover.This was the dog they made all the fuss over..Who would have thought I’d cross Paths on this Sunday in JuneWith the first dog to walk on the Moon?.You see, this dog somehow got this attention(Even his master got less of a mention)When they opened up space travel for the civilians.His master, a playboy, had spent several millionsTo go the Moon and, to make it all merrier,He had decided that he’d take his terrier.The talk shows and newspapers ate up the story.You’d see this white pup on the tube in his glory.The dog’s popularity would never falter —He even got interviewed by Barbara Walters.They covered the training and all preparations,And it seemed like we all held our breath as a nationThe day of the liftoff for this little pet.And later, the image we’ll never forget —That first step for canines in his little doggy space suitFor the first dog to walk on the Moon..And when I was young, I had my dreams of greatness,Of flying in rockets in space, being weightless.I dreamed I could be like some star of space travel,But many years later my dreams would unravel.I guess I just wasn’t a good enough student.I made some life choices that weren’t so prudent.I work on the phones now in customer service,Telling my callers, “Hi, Bob at your service.”I’m fielding complaints at this 800 number.What I do for money just couldn’t be dumber.My company makes things like hair dye for men.I hear the same questions again and again.Things like, “Is it okay to use this on my eyebrows?”When it says on the box ‘NOT FOR USE ON YOUR EYEBROWS.’.And it sure doesn’t seem I’ll do anything great all that soon,Like this dog who has been to the Moon.And God, I don’t know if you’re somewhere out there.But if you are listening, it’s truly unfair.I look at this dog and I see he has knowledgeLike nothing I learned in community college.This dog has seen worlds that I never will access,And he won’t have to struggle with failure or taxes.This is a dog that has so much I lack,This is a dog who has been there and back.And God, I don’t know if there’s reincarnation,But if you can help me in this situation,There’s just one thing that I hope you can do for me.Maybe next time you can really come through for me.In my next life — ‘cause I know this one’s shot — In my next life, make me something I’m not.What I’m asking to be, as I pray to you under these stars,Is the first dog to touch down on Mars.…

You can tell this is faked. The surface of the moon looks like a cartoonist drew it.

Well, Snoopy, that stupid cat that lives next door would never be the first Beagle on the moon..Congratulations in your own right, Cosmo-dog!

You are the first beagle but not the first dog from a comic strip. Snowy, Tintin’s dog, was there 19 years before.
