After his famous "That's one small step for man … one giant leap for mankind"[1], what did he say next?
Well, bear in mind that people didn't really know what the surface of the moon would be like. Probes had landed, but there was still concern over moon dust, dust pits that could swallow a man, etc. So basically he went on to talk about the lunar dirt he was walking around in.
A bit more prosaic, but much more scientific.

[1] Or "… a man …" That's what Armstrong said he said, but the "a" was not audible. See http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/04/tech/armstrong-quote/ .

Who are you and why are you sending me things I didn't want?
+Brenda Yearwood I haven't "sent" you anything. The above is a publicly shared post; if it appeared in your stream, it's possible that a friend +1ed it (if you have that setting turned on), but it's nothing I've done.
