Neil Armstrong's line

Buzz, however, did manage to be the first man to “boldly go where no man has gone before” as on his way down the LM ladder, he paused to take a whiz.

I got a real kick out of hearing Buzz tell this story on himself in “In the Shadow of the Moon.”

Oddly, a recurring question I and other Americans get from Saudis is “Was Armstrong a Muslim?” It seems NA said something or another that seemed to indicate (at least to Saudis) that he was.

It’s an urban legend in the Muslim world that Armstrong heard an Islamic prayer or something on the moon, coverted and is now living in lebanon (none of which is true, of course). It’s not clear where it started.

I’ve no cite handy, but another reason for the commander to exit first was because the way the door opened inward, it blocked the pilot (standing on the right side). They tried it in the lunar lander simulator and damaged it trying to maneuver around each other to let the pilot get out first.

This is discussed in First Man and Alan Bean says that all they would have to do is step to the back of the cabin (like they would have done to suit up) to change places for Buzz to be able to go out first.
