    What was the size of Neil Armstrong's boot when he landed on the moon in 1969?

    Question #105921. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (May 28 09 10:09 PM)

    Time magazine provided vivid coverage of the landing: “The ghostly, white-clad figure slowly descended the ladder. Having reached the bottom rung, he lowered himself into the bowl-shaped footpad of Eagle, the spindly lunar module of Apollo 11. Then he extended his left foot, cautiously, tentatively, as if testing water in a pool—and, in fact, testing a wholly new environment for man. That groping foot, encased in a heavy multi-layered boot (size 9½B), would remain indelible in the minds of millions who watched it on TV, and a symbol of man's determination to step—and forever keep stepping—toward the unknown.”
