==Neil Armstrong==
''On July 20, 1969, a simulated broadcast of American Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the Moon was broadcast to a record television audience, with Armstrong's words, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."[2]''<br> I wasn't quite sure what you meant by "simulated broadcast"? I looked at the reference but I couldn't find anything about the broadcast, except that it said "People around the world watched and listened as Neil slowly climbed down the ladder of the lunar lander." Did you mean "simulcast"? Thanks, and sorry in advance if this is another "blonde moment" on my part. I have a cold so I'm not thinking at 100% at the moment. --[[User:Hsmom|Hsmom]] 11:34, 3 December 2008 (EST)

:I think it's "simulcast" as well. One of the news commentators at the time (Cronkite?) remarked that he didn't know which was more amazing - that a man was taking the first steps on the moon moon, or that people around the world could be watching him live as he did it. --[[User:DinsdaleP|DinsdaleP]] 11:47, 3 December 2008 (EST)
