I got one wrong... (and shouldn't have, but oh well.)


Question #4 depends on how you interpret the question, IMHO, but I
guessed at what they truly meant and got it right.

I missed two questions. One I shouldn't have missed, but the other I
consider trivia completely unrelated to the actual moon landing. Since
I was less than a year old at the time, that piece of trivia might have
been publicized in the popular media, but I don't remember it from any
of the histories I've read or watched.
