Why didnt NaSA just giv Niel and Buzz cellphones?

They didn't want to admit that the Verizon guy beat them there.

Can you hear me now?

Their gloves were too bulky to punch the little buttons properly.

Pah - *without* gloves those buttons are too little to punch properly.

Hallerb

They tried to phone home, but the reception up there was aweful.

No roaming plan.

No roaming plan.

And the batteries weren't as good in those days.

"Hello... Mom? Yes, it's me, Buzz. I'm calling from the Moo......"
burst of static

Of course, the big question to me was, how'd they get the
cellphones to work in a vacuum?

Maybe this means the landings _were_ faked all along?

"What, you want to talk to Neil? Sure, Mom, I got it taped to the inside of
my helmet, and I'll have to take it off to get it to him...
aaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee eeeeeeee!!!!!!!"

Anyone have any other ideas?
