http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11_in_popular_culture#Movies_and_television says
Portions of the Apollo 11 mission are dramatized in the HBO mini-series From the Earth to the Moon episode entitled "Mare Tranquilitatis". In that episode, Michael Collins made the following suggestion as to what Armstrong should say upon stepping onto the lunar surface: "If you had any balls, you'd say 'Oh, my God, what is that thing?' then scream and cut your mic."

Now that would have been epic :)

Google translate actually gave me a laugh:

For right now, for one more question. Events, but the job's soft, no industrial base bow, nor China's no need for more. Technical mass laughter.

I've seen computing go from such as IBM mainframes (still relevant) to the Commodore PC to the IBM PC to Compaq, etc. And software has been doing the same. I didn't have enough money to buy an Apple when you first came out (I remember and dreamed lol), nor did I have the money when MS or Google offered up their stock. What area of future growth would you advise investing in? And yeah, I was advised circa 1999 I'm older than dirt ;)

If I owned an amusement park, I'd design a ride for you. Completely safe, but rusty looking, broken down looking, and staffed by people acting clueless ;)
And delays before boarding due to "technical reasons". Maybe a few press releases about past accidents being settled out of court. Sort of like some software projects.

I've lost track over the past 40 years or so, all the OS's I've used. Sort of like programming languages. Windows popularized home PCs. Didit/does it suck for security? Yes. Every OS has holes though, even if it is social engineering (as you know). Hate Windows? Nope., preferred Desqview when Windows 3 came out. Hate MS? A bit. MS business practices? Absolutely hate. And I have friends who work there (and others at RH)

Anyways, I vote for a pink unicorn with a rainbow out it's butt for a logo, sorta a Linux on the desktop theme. :)
