I didn’t remember that the Russians had an unmanned space craft trying to land on the moon at the same time as Apollo 11.

I don't think that I'd ever heard that.

Their unmanned craft ended up crashing on landing, about five hundred miles away from Armstrong and Aldrin.

Oh, my!

One thing I learned from my days at the Titanic site with Buzz Aldrin was that he got very angry when people called him the second man to land on the moon.  Or,to have people say that Armstrong was the first man to land on the moon.

Aldrin and Armstrong landed on the moon at the exact same time.  Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon and Aldrin was the second, but he hated when people referred to him as the second man to land on the moon.

The Russians planned to have their craft quickly drill down into the moon surface, scoop up some moon soil, and return it to earth before Apollo 11 returned.

The program tonight also brought up the huge risk they had the module would not take off again from the moon surface.  If that happened, Collins would have headed home alone, and the two on the moon would have no choices besides starving to death, or committing suicide.

Oh...that makes sense.

I can't imagine being in that situation.

There was no planned, or possible, rescue mission.

It really does, but I am sure that prior to meeting Buzz, I was guilty of saying that.
