Remember it well. remember exactly where I was when they landed, then went out into the street and looked up at the moon. Could not believe there were people on it.

It says that Aldrin landed the LEM, which is not true. It was Armstrong. Ok they say piloted the Eagle to the surface, to me it means the same thing. Wrong.
