Free Gift: One Small Step
A single footprint in the sand can represent so much. The first step towards breaking boundaries, towards new discoveries, towards accomplishing the impossible. But it all starts with being brave enough to take that one small step. Charity is giving away a new free gift that might inspire you to take yours.

Um... if it's true we landed on the moon, then Neil wasn't the one and only man to step foot on it. No wonder you believe the official story when you don't even know it. XD

R.I.P. Neil Armstrong. What it must have felt like to be the one and only man to step foot on the moon. Thank you for leaving us all with such inspiration. ♥️
Love the item and what has been written in the original news post. Thank you again, Subeta. :)
And the nerve of people posting that it was a 'hoax'. You know what, maybe we'd be more respectful of your opinions if you didn't come in here with your panties in a bunch insulting a well respected man THAT JUST DIED for not only his landing on the moon, but lets not forget he also served our wonderful country as a U.S. Navy pilot.
Like anybody is gonna read your comment and go, OH HEY, I LIKE HOW THEY JUST INSULTED THIS DEAD GUY AND I THINK I'M GONNA BE ON THEIR SIDE~~ lololno.

A fitting tribute to a brave man and a momentous event. I hope some day America remembers everything the manned space program has given us and takes us to the stars again; until then, this is a nice reminder.

Wonderful tribute for a brave brave man, watched a documentary where James May (top gear) met some of the moonwalkers and saw the original rocket they went up in. It was a bucket of bolts :) you would never dare that much nowadays. One small step indeeed

RIP Niel Armstrong, I will forever remember sitting on the floor in the dark, inches away from the old TV, watching those fuzzy images of you on the moon and hearing your famous words. I was in 7th grade and since then, I've seen that clip a hundred times and it never ceases to cause me to hold my breath in anticipation. And then, when I hear those words again, I choke up with tears and I marvel once more at what it was that you actually did, you took all of us to the moon with you on the greatest adventure in human history. Thanks Neil. For me, you are the man in the moon. ( *Wink* )
Thank you Subeta for honoring one of the greatest men of all time.

sigh @ people getting angry about someone posting that they think it was a hoax. ONE person posted that.
and yea, a person died (who IS important to millions of people - I'm not denying that. And I'm not trying to be a jerk, even though some may think that.) - thousands of people die a day in foreign countries, and I don't see many people mentioning those rn.
Anyway, I think this is a great item! I can see a lot of effort was put into this. :heart:

Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also an aerospace engineer, U.S. Navy pilot, test pilot, and university professor. Before becoming an astronaut, Armstrong was a United States Navy officer and served in the Korean War. After the war, he served as a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics High-Speed Flight Station, now known as the Dryden Flight Research Center, where he logged over 900 flights. He graduated from Purdue University and completed graduate studies at the University of Southern California.
Armstrong died in Cincinnati, Ohio, on August 25, 2012, at the age of 82 due to complications from blocked coronary arteries.
R.I.P. The pioneering astronaut, Neil Armstrong. 1930-2012
'That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.'

*sniffle* Thank you, Subeta Team, for honoring Neil Armstrong this way.
For so long, we only dreamed of what he experienced.
Now, in our lifetimes, commercial flights to the moon will be a reality.
But Neil Armstrong will always be immortalized as the one who was their first.
Rest in Peace.

All I have to say to the doubter is ---> retroreflector. 100% definitive proof any time you want it. End of story, you couldn't be more wrong (and disrespectful as others have wonderfully pointed out.)

@raPUNzel:
You spoke too soon because here I am!
So, you people don't find it the LEAST bit suspicious that this man, this American hero who was the first man in the world to set foot on the moon, would never ever ever speak about it, give interviews, or in any other way discuss what it was like? All the astronauts, when asked about it, say they can't really remember what it was like, what the stars looked like, etc. That's not suspicious to you? And in one of the few interviews Armstrong gave, he broke down into hysterics and said some cryptic shit like "It's up to the next generation to peel back truth's protective layers!"
Do some fucking research. Even the most cursory of searches into the moon landing will show that it's impossible with current technology - much LESS sixties technology - to get past the Van Allen radiation belt without dying horribly. You all say, "Yeah we landed on the moon, the moon hoaxers are crazy! 'Myth Busterst' told me so!" Myth Busters were busted! Look into your own country's ridiculous lie. Look how soon we made it to the moon after founding NASA. Why could we go so easily over four decades ago when the country that was actually winning the space race - Russia - couldn't? And why did Russia never make it? And why hasn't any other country besides America been to the moon ever? Japan said a few years ago that they were planning a moon-trip and hoped to do it in TWENTY YEARS. Starting with twenty-first century technology. It's Japan for fuck's sake. They build cars and electronics and fucking robots and they can't do what we did in the sixties after only having NASA at all for a mere few years?
Jesus fuck, people. We never put men on the moon. We pretended we did to win the Cold War, among other things. I don't know why you find it so distasteful that your government might lie to you. All government lies to their people. It's not REALLY that upsetting to know we never went to the moon - I live with it - and once we admit it, then we can finally get down to actually trying to solve the problem of space-travel. Which we can't until you people realize that what we've accomplished has never actually been accomplished.

You made more than one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind; you made a legacy, a nation proud, and even a stubborn wannabe-Russian a huge fan!
Thanks for the memorial item, Subeta! This is definitely one of the greatest.
