Moon Speech

A Story by Mark George

What ideas did Neil Armstrong reject before coming up with his famous moon speech?

Moon Speech

(excerpt from the diary of Neil Armstrong)

-I’m standing on the freaking moon! (crosses out)

-Honey, I bet your ex-boyfriend can’t do this. (crosses out)

-Newsflash: People of earth: it’s not made of green cheese! (crosses out)

-Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. (crosses out)

-Tranquility Base to Houston Control: Landscape dead…atmosphere toxic…prepare to beam me up, Scotty…Kirk out. (crosses out)

-Suck it, Russia! (crosses out)

-We of earth mean you no harm. We come in peace. (crosses out)

-This beats Disney World hands down! (crosses out)

-That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
