What Were the Last Words Spoken on the Moon?
Quote:
Probably not, alas, "let's get this mother out of here" ..
Forty years ago, December 14 at 5:54:37 p.m. EST, humans left the moon for the last time.
But how did the three men who made that departure -- taking their last small steps,
their last great leaps from the lunar surface -- mark that occasion?
What parting words did they leave to the moon, and to their fellow humans, and to history?

If my wife had been there, the last words would have been:
"Wait, I forgot to turn off the coffee pot"
