One small step..................

On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong took the first human steps on the moon. I am sure it was a very exciting time. If you listen to old recordings from the time, you can hear his words "One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."

The next words he says are not found in the official recording, but can be found in many places online. If you saw the landing, you may remember hearing the words on the live telecast.

According to the scientific data, the moon should be covered with moon dust in very thick layers. The lunar module was actually built on stilts to land in all the dust. The astronauts were told to be prepared to sink in the moon dust when they walked. The moon was supposed to be covered in millions of years of dust, but it wasn't. Armstrong was surprised when he stepped on solid ground. What did this mean? How old was the moon? How did it get there? Where did they make the mistakes?

"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day." Genesis 1:16-19
