It was on this day back in 1969 that we all sat around our televisions and listen and watched as Walter Cronkite, the anchor of CBS News at the time, describe the scene of Neil Armstrong about to step on the surface of the moon.

 

I remember thinking to myself, what is Armstrong going to say when he steps on the moon. In fact no one knew except Armstrong himself.

We soon found out when Armstrong came down the ladder of the lunar module and when he was about to step on the surface he said.."That's one small step for man..one giant leap for mankind".
