When the Apollo 11’s lunar module landed in the “Sea of Tranquility” July 21st, 1969 Neil Armstong became the first man to step on the moon. A few seconds later Buzz Aldrin became the second man to walk on the moon. In my opinion, Neil Armstrong was the winner of the most consequential “rock, paper, scissors” match since JFK, just after arriving in Lovefield airport, agreeing to ride in the convertible with the top down because Jackie pulled “scissors” while he pulled “paper”. The latter thought, “It’s only Elm Street. What’s there but a few trees and a book depository? What’s the worst that could happen? Okay Jackie we’ll keep the top down.” Now almost six years later, Neil Armstrong, who had just won an epic victory of “best two out of three” with paper and later with rock against Buzz Aldrin stepped down the ladder of the lunar module to the lunar surface. Shortly after stepping down the ladder, he said these immortal words to half a billion people watching at home, “One step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” while Buzz was thinking, “Why did I pick rock?”
