Armstrong and Aldrin remain two of only a dozen men to have ever stepped foot on the moon

Armstrong and Aldrin remain two of only a dozen men to have ever stepped foot on the moon. Though as the astronaut who did it first, the latter’s name has always been more synonymous with the impressive feat. How does Aldrin feel about playing second fiddle to his one-time crewmate, then? Well, the astronaut claims that back in 1969 he thought nothing of it, telling National Geographic, “As the senior crew member, it was appropriate for him to be the first.” Photo Credit: Project Apollo Archive/Flickr
