Who remembers Buzz Aldren's first words on the moon?

Question

I know what Neil Armstrong said, but what about Buzz Aldren?

Answer 1

Here is a transcript of the landing (see 1st source):

102:45:40 Aldrin: Contact Light.
102:45:43 Armstrong (on-board): Shutdown
102:45:44 Aldrin: Okay. Engine Stop.
102:45:45 Aldrin: ACA out of Detent.
102:45:46 Armstrong: Out of Detent. Auto.
102:45:47 Aldrin: Mode Control, both Auto. Descent Engine Command Override, Off. Engine Arm, Off. 413 is in.
102:45:57 Duke: We copy you down, Eagle.
102:45:58 Armstrong (on-board): Engine arm is off. (Pause) Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.

Hours later, Armstrong stepped out on the surface (see 2nd source) with these famous words:
109:24:13 Armstrong: I'm going to step off the LM now. (Long Pause)
109:24:48 Armstrong: That's one small step for (a) man; one giant leap for mankind. (Long Pause)

Some time later Aldrin steps on the Moon (2nd source):
109:43:08 Aldrin: That's a good (last) step.
109:43:10 Armstrong: Yeah. About a 3-footer. (Pause)
109:43:16 Aldrin: Beautiful view!
109:43:18 Armstrong: Isn't that something! Magnificent sight out here.
109:43:24 Aldrin: Magnificent desolation. (Long Pause)


For all kinds of detailed information, see the NASA history site where I got these quotes. It is the 3rd source.

Answer 2

The flag was held up via an extensible metal pole. The first time around, the pole didn't extend all the way, giving the flag a rippled appearance. Future moonwalkers did that on purpose because they liked the appearance of the flag waving in the breeze. To think that they would go to the effort of faking the moon landings, and not remember to make the flag correct... that's just retarded. Seriously. Your friend is destined for a life of flipping burgers (or flipping on his stomach and letting some homeless dude pound his *** for money) and nothing you can do will save him.

Answer 3

Hey his name is ALDRIN and not ALDREN. And this is what he saidwhen he first landed on the moon. "I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours, and to give thanks in his or her own way." It was said by him to via radio to all those waiting in nasa mission control.

Answer 4

His first words, standing on the moon's surface, were "Looks like the secondary strut had a little thermal effects on it right here, Neil."

Answer 5

landing on the moon, Aldrin radioed earth with these words: "I'd like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours, and to give thanks in his or her own way."

Answer 6

I remember Neil Amstrong said when he first step on the Moon:
"It's one small step for man, giant leap for mankind"
