SO MUCH FOR MY EDITING THIS MORNING...YOU MUST READ THIS UPSIDE DOWN. I WAS OUT FOR A WALK IN THE RAIN THIS MORNING AND THIS CAUGHT MY EYE IN THE GRASS, IF YOU CAN'T READ IT...IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER IT SAYS - 'ANSWER'
AND I GUESS THE ANSWER TO THE UNKNOWN QUESTION IS - 'THE SECOND MAN ON THE MOON'.
THE SECOND MAN ON THE MOON, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW, WAS BUZZ ALDRIN. I HAVE ADDED THE STORY BELOW, WITH ALSO HIS FIRST WORDS ON THE MOON!
I AM CELEBRATING TODAY...THAT BEING TRULY 'PART' OF THE PROCESS AND MIRACLE OF LIVING IS AS IMPORTANT AS BEING MONUMENTAL IN A SPECIFIC EVENT OR PLACE AND TIME. EACH LITTLE THING WE DO CAN BE MONUMENTAL BEYOND OUR WILDEST DREAMS! BE PRESENT IN ALL OF YOUR MOMENTS AND EACH ONE WILL BE PROFOUND!

Dear Yahoo!:
Did the second man on the moon say anything profound?

Dear RJD:
Neil Armstrong's words are some of history's most famous (and controversial). Of course, he was the first guy on the moon, so no matter what he said, people were bound to remember it. But the words of Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon, have been a bit eclipsed by Armstrong's sound bite.
Armstrong and Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. For whatever reason, Armstrong was the first out the Apollo 11 hatch. Aldrin followed 18 minutes later. According to his official site, Aldrin's first words upon gracing the lunar surface were: "Beautiful, beautiful. Magnificent desolation."
That grand sentiment has been overshadowed by Armstrong's iconic words. But while people will always remember the "giant leap," Aldrin can take pride in knowing he's featured in one of the most famous photos of all time. And his influence as a moonwalker is still felt today. The statuette given out at MTV's Video Music Awards is officially known as "The Moon Man," but it's more commonly referred to as "The Buzzy."
