Great Armstrong quote

I remember watching Neil Armstrong step out on to the moon. We were crowded around the B&W family TV in 1969, transfixed by what we saw. You probably remember what he said: "One small step for man, one giant step for mankind."

But I learned only recently what Neil Armstrong said to a joint session of Congress later that year.

"To those of you who have advocated looking high we owe our sincere gratitude, for you have granted us the opportunity to see some of the grandest views of the Creator."

Could you use that as a teaching illustration or in an opener?
