I think the “Pandora’s Star” from Peter F. Hamilton started with a scene exactly like this. Or similar as no time travel was involved, only teleportation. Eh, nevermind…
That’s one small click for a man, one giant new timeline for mankind.
(P.S.: In IMPERIAL EARTH’s afterword, Arthur C. Clarke cited Neil Armstrong as saying “That’s one small step for man” – not “a man”. According to Clarke, Armstrong once said (in a rather exasperated tone as I recall), “That’s what I meant to say, and that’s what I thought I said.”)
Rakkav, I believe it was the other way around. And recent re-analysis has indicated that he did in fact say “a man”, just that the “a” was rather quiet.

I bet Armstrong would have gone into shock… or laughed his head off.

Good thing those suits could accommodate body wastes.

This is funny to think if it ACTUALLY happened. Can you imagine?

And to think, the tourists knew to time-travel to Arizona, just in time for the filming! LOL <:-)

Doesn’t that time traveller look awful lot like Cliff?

An invisibility cloak and levitation device helped greatly.

This is just one of the reasons we can’t have time travel. The other one can be seen in season four of Rick and Morty.
