Speak of the Week IX, 50 Years Later.

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Simple words that somehow resonate with all the effort and risk that it took to send men to the moon using about as much computer power as sits in the average coffee maker on the average kitchen counter 50 years later.

There's a wonderful gif floating around the internet of Buzz Aldrin punching one of those conspiracy nuts who think that the landings were faked. Socks him right in the kisser. The man was 72 at the time (2002) but he still lands a solid punch. I highly recommend it.

In the comment section of the site I saw the gif on, one commenter sums it up nicely.

"Dude went to the moon before we had colour tv. I wouldn't fuck with him." Speak of the week IXa.
