Title One Small Step
Explanation On July 20th, 1969, a human first set foot on the Moon [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950903.html ]. Pictured above is the first lunar footprint. The footprint and distinction of the first person to walk on the Moon [ http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/luna.html ] belong to Neil Armstrong. It has been estimated that one billion people world-wide watched Armstrong's first step - making the live transmission from a camera mounted on the lunar lander the highest rated television show ever. Upon setting foot on the moon, Armstrong said: "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
