What was the first word spoken from the surface of the moon?

"Houston" Or alternatively it was either "shut down", or "contact light" if you are prepared to accept the little extended probes touching the surface as making proper contact with the surface. http://www.purdue.edu/UNS/html4ever/9903.Moon.landing.dialogue.html Jan 28 05, 7:03 PM

Thanks Stew, most web-sites claim it was "Houston", possibly because of the publicity gained by that Texas town. I'd read somewhere else that it was actually "Okay", but it seems both were incorrect. I assume the first words spoken from the actual surface of the moon, rather from inside the lunar lander, was the famous sentence by Neil Armstrong, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Armstrong was supposed to say, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," but he forgot the artice "a". http://www.snopes.com/quotes/onesmall.as Jan 29 05, 3:54 PM
