Ridiculously Random Prompt #19: One Small Step





Neil Armstrong didn't say "That's one small step for man."


The astronaut insists he actually stated, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." "That's the only way the statement makes any sense," Armstrong told biographer James Hansen. And for the record, no real astronaut ever uttered "Houston, we have a problem." — Tom Hanks only said that in the movie Apollo 13.


Complete ONE of the following tasks:

👩‍🚀 1. Read a book with something small on the cover.
👩‍🚀 2. Read a book with double letters in the title.
👩‍🚀 3. Read a book where you can share a favorite quote.
👩‍🚀 4. Read a book author's first AND last initials are found in NEIL ARMSTRONG.

Excellent!


I have added a Chapter 3 Evidence Tab and a Chapter 3 Tab to your SS. There's more evidence...so two tabs were easier. Good luck!

Great tasks!

I have added Hint #2 to your Chapter 2 Tab. Good luck!!
