5. Cool story! I love learning new things about the space missions of the 60's.

I love the imagery of this story. Buzz Aldrin was, in reality, a tiny part of the most important mission of an enormous human undertaking (i.e. the space program.). Neil Armstrong was uncomfortable as the hero, and often pointed that it was the thousands of engineers, builders, and managers who deserve the credit.

Buzz expresses the same sentiment in the verse:

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him?

These were incredible men.
