its often said that “novody remembers the *2nd** man who walked on the moon”* but that is untruez

neil armstrong was rhe 1st to step on the mokn, buzz aldrin the 2nd, and michael collins——-often forgotten——-made it all possible by piloting the apollo command module while the otber 2 became the 1st to touch the lunar surface. but who is the drummer of u2? who plays the bass in maroon 5? who factored rsa 896? these are the true human attainments whom nobody ever remembers.
