Just landed, took one small step, and suddenly everybody’s acting like they signed the moon too. by Neil Armstrong

The real crime is Buzz keeps acting like second place is a personality trait.

I’m begging you both to remember there was also a spacecraft and I was in it.

Fair. But only one of us got a lunar footprint and a lifetime of people misquoting it.

Second is still first among people who actually showed up.

I orbited alone for 21 hours and still got treated like the helpful extra in my own space mission.

You did step first, Neil. I was literally right behind you doing the world’s most expensive follow-up.

Michael, you were the original remote worker. Respect.

Exactly. Two men on the Moon, and somehow only one of us had to hear 'where's the footage?' for 50 years.
