A fun Apollo fact: after the success of Apollo 11, a reporter told one of the astronauts due to fly on the following Apollo 12 mission, Pete Conrad, that he didn't believe that NASA didn't come up with Neil Armstrong's famous first words on the Moon. As such, Conrad struck a $500 (more than $1000 in modern money) bet with the reporter that he could say something he himself wanted while stepping onto the Moon without NASA telling him to say it. And what did he say?

"Whopee! It may have been a small step for Neil, but it was a big step for me."

Conrad won the bet, but the reporter was a sore loser and never payed Conrad his $500.
