    OK, here is a multi-part moon question

    The Apollo Moon Program of the United States had 17 missions.

    Which manned mission was the first to land on the Moon?
    What was the year of this mission?
    Where on the Moon did they land? The name of the location is required here.
    What astronaut first set foot on the Moon?
    What did he say when he first set foot on the moon?
    What were the names of the other two astronauts? Which of these two also landed on the moon?

    X, all of your answers are correct except the number of the mission. Also, there was a third astronaut who stayed behind on the mother ship while Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the moon. You are good at this, so here's some more for you.

    What was the type of booster rocket used for this mission?
    What was the nickname of the Lunar Module. What was the famous phrase that was coined when the module landed on the moon.

    And last but not least, a real toughie. Aside from his famous mankind remark, Neil Armstrong is also said to have uttered the phrase "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky". This is well documented story, and not a figment of my imagination. However, there is some doubt as to whether or not Neil actually said these words. Anyways, the question is: What is the significance of the phrase, "Good Luck Mr. Gorsky".

    Easy peasy ... the booster was the giant Saturn V rockets, the module was the eagle (as in the eagle has l;anded) and Mr gorsky was Armstromgs childhood neighbour. Allegedly he overheard his wife denying him a blowjob until 'the kid next door walks on the moon'. Probably an urban legend, but a good one nonetheless.

    Well done, X. Two questions remain. What was the number of this mission, and who was the third astronaut who remained in moon orbit while Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the moon.

    Apollo 11 is correct. Seeing as how the two top quizters couldn't get the 3rd guy, I will give the answer. It is Michael Collins. I would not have got this either.
