Yeah, one group would say that Armstrong never returned and the person we think is Armstrong is an alien in disguise while another would say he was a mind controlled mole helping prepare for an alien invasion.

Yeah, but at least they'd agree he bloody well got there in the first place. Which might actually be a net plus.

Odd that no one has mentioned the first EVA words of the NEXT Apollo moon landing mission, uttered by Pete Conrad:
Which he uttered to win a bet with Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci. (She never paid up.)
There was a good deal of luck in how the moon landing assignments worked out. Armstrong's crew got the first landing mainly because of the LM completion delays that forced the switching of the Apollo 8 (Borman) and 9 (McDivitt) crews, which also switched around their backup crews, who on normal rotation would then get promoted to their own missions three launches later. Had that not happened, Conrad would have commanded Apollo 11, rather than Apollo 12.
Which leaves us to wonder whether Conrad would have been so cavalier had he gotten the big assignment.

Supposedly Conrad cursed like a sailor, so once he started training for the Apollo Program NASA brought in a hypnotist who managed to get him to hum instead of swearing. Apparently if you listen to the audio from Apollo 12 he's humming non-stop.
How awkward would it be if the conditioning broke and he dropped the f-bomb on live tv?

In all seriousness, what if Armstrong said something political, "i.e. If our great nation can reach the moon, our people can overcome any challenge against any people, and we will achieve victory." How does that affect Nam?
