You aced this tricky 1969 quiz with immaculate ease and skill. We couldn’t be more impressed by your knowledge on the history of this beloved and iconic year. Simply amazing!
One of the most frequently misquoted quotes of all time. What Armstrong actually said was, “That’s one small step for *A* man – one giant leap for mankind.” The vital word, “a,” was obscured by static so most people never heard it. But you have to admit the quote makes a lot more sense that way, which was how Neil Armstrong intended it.
15/18 Better than last time, quite good must be in mood for quizzing today.
