OK, without Googling, what was the first word spoken from the moon?

First words spoken on the moon were Neil Armstrong saying "I can see our house from here...."

Think the answer to this one got missed off, any takers?

What have these places in common?

Sue,
#1 is a CD?
#2 Christmas bauble?
Yes and yes!

Paolo: do I get to answer this? Given my profession, it seems almost unfair! :)

Besides, I have a clarification question: do you mean when the whole crew landed on the moon, or when Armstrong stepped onto the surface?

Brooke,

I mean the first word spoken from the moon, not Armstrong's when he came down the ladder. I wish you would answer it, as that would save me having to look it up. I 'think' I know what it is.

I think the first words spoken were some kind of technical transmission... a "10-4, jolly rodger, check" only in austronaut-speak.

(My father was engineer in charge of verifying Apollo launches and I was born at Cape Canavaral/Cocoa Beach, so if this is remotely correct feel free to disqualify me and send all my winnings to some needy Nigerian vacationer-wannabe.)

Brooke, what do you do that makes you an insider on this type of info?

Merry, merry!

Deb,

It's not correct so you are not disqualified.

You know those films where a crew go into space to discover the secrets of the universe, and there is always one good-looking young lady who is ridiculously over-qualified for her age? That's Brooke.

The kind that makes Mr Spock fall in love and keep repeating "illogical"?

Okay, I'll end my Carlisle, Dundee, Humberside one which you might recognise as a Mozzer song, Panic:

But there's Panic on the streets of Carlisle
Dublin, Dundee, Humberside
I wonder to myself

Burn down the disco
Hang the blessed DJ
Because the music that they constantly play
It says nothing to me about my life
Hang the blessed DJ

Sue,

I hardly dare say anything. I was "ticked off" recently about my lack of knowledge about things of intergalactic importance but I thought the lyrics you quoted came from "The Smiths".

Is “Mozzer� shorthand for “Morrissey�?

Soo, what a GREAT question - I am SO embarrassed that I didn't get that answer!!!!! (but my gosh, don't know why, but I never had you down as a Smiths' fan!)

Anyway, back to the quiz....

What do grumpy mice send each other at Christmas?
