- You must not have read all the replies then. One of the early ones said the
- crew was still on Houston time and therefore the official date for the landing
- should be derived from when it occured on Central Daylight Time which the
- poster went on to point out is the same as Eastern Standard Time.

- That post was a less than frivolous response.
- The very first word spoken from the lunar surface was in fact "Houston"!
- It makes sense that the time on the moon is connected with Houston and this was
- a REAL answer.
