‘TRANQUILITY: I abso-fucking-lutely am standing on the surface of the fucking moon. I am talking to you from the goddammed fucking moon. Jesus H. Christ in a chicken basket.
HOUSTON: Holy Shit.
TRANQUILITY: Holy mother of fuck. The fucking moon. Over. ‘

The other urban myth about that is Armstrong said : ‘Good luck Mr Kowalski’. (the name may be wrong) As a kid he’d heard the woman next door fishwifing her husband: ‘You’ll get oral sex when the kid next door lands on the moon!’
Urban Myth anecdotal evidence is that it’s Mr Gorsky, not Kowalski. But who cares? It’s a great story and deserves to be true. Religions have been founded on less.
It’s beautifully captured in Watchmen, when Manhattan Blue MAn is there to film Neil and get his words on the record. Kowalski gets posterity from Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino … so it’s quits, win-win!
