Holy Grail
1. Normallly one quotes "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong after jumping out of the moon lander. Hence I assume that you expect this answwer. +0.5 More correct would be, however, either the check list starting with Buzz Aldrin (Contact light) or Neill Armstrong : Houston, Tranquility base here. the eagle has landed. if you want the full point, please choose one answer, not three If "on the moon" has to be taken literally i.e. the person has actually to be on the surface of the moon and not anymore inside the lander the first of my answers should be the correct one. Hence my final answer to the first qestion is "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong In adition, please read :http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2011/jan/22/rick-perry/rick-perry-says-first-word-spoken-moon-was-houston/ 2. Italy, with 2.5 million +1 3. The three ships in Boston Bay carrying tea the night of the Boston Tea Party +1 4. English bobbies, or policeman--origianlly known as Bobby's boys. Peel is the man who organized the London police force in 1829. +1 5. September 14th 1752 +1 5 + 4.5 = 9.5 Points |
