Excerpt: Modified

Walter 8 was the first man to set foot on the primary moon of their planet. The secondary moon was little more than an asteroid in size, but the primary moon was large enough to have gravity and a wispy atmosphere. It was almost 100 years ago what Walter had set foot on the moon, with the almost forgotten crew to be the second and third men on the moon.

He became most famous though, for his speech. At this time, there was a great struggle in the world for power, and his country had reached the moon first. He had been given a carefully written speech that had been crafted to be easily quotable by the media, and remembered by the people for all time, while, of course, purporting that his country was the greatest. Walter famously stepped out of his craft, descended to the ground, and then stood in front of the camera. He raised his sun visor so that his face could easily be seen. The whole planet held its breath in anticipation. His right hand raised, but not into the planed salute, instead into a thumbs up shape, and out came the words that were so famous: ``Holy shit, I'm on the moon!''

In the end, it did far more good than the speech he'd been told to make. It united the classes for a brief time and all the super powers were able to have a good laugh over it.

But the string of firsts set that day weren't finished. Walter 8 then became the first person to attempt a back flip on the moon, heavy on the word attempt. He then completed the first failed backflip on the moon, landing square on his air valves. He then became the first person to have his suit decompress on the primary moon. The second person on the moon was secondary commander Samus 12, who set some firsts of his own, such as the first rescue mission, and first ressusitation. After all of the commotion, Walter was checked out to return to the surface of the primary moon the next day, where the celebration was limited to a simple ``shimmy'' dance that wasn't quite visible outside of his suit.
