I would look up at the moon and see that it was not the smooth orb we had all believed, but a pitted and scarred world with no air.

Christopher Pike
About This Quote

When Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon, he said, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” But what did he really think about that moment? Armstrong thought it was a tragic loss of innocence. Before the landing, he had been skeptical that a man would land on the moon. He had read a NASA memo that said a man could not live there. He had scoffed at it. As Armstrong walked across the surface of the moon, he said, “We were riding a bicycle built for two, and we were three.” When Armstrong stepped out onto the moon’s surface and his eyes adjusted to the dim light of the moon, he saw its pitted and scarred nature.
