I don't need to describe this photo to you. We all know who this is, where it is, and when it was taken. But I'm going to anyways; this photo was taken of Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, it was taken on the moon and it was taken on July 20, 1969.
As Americans we clutch to this as our victory, our way to prove we're better than everyone else, though as Neil Armstrong said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." While this may be a stepping stone for our sense of Americanness, this truly was a "leap for mankind."
As citizens of the world, this goes to show we can do anything. Anything. If we want to reach the bottom of the ocean, we can do it. If we want to reach the top of the sky, we can do it. Hell, we've even gone past the sky and to a whole. 'nother. world. How cool is that? It's pretty darn cool, that's what it is.
