I wonder what Buzz Lightyear would be called if the first two men in the moon were named Nick Adams and John Abbott or something normal.

ETA: And if they different names, would we have gotten “Blast Hardcheese?”

They were specifically selected to send secret messages to the aliens using their names.

Not really, I just feel like it looks more natural.

The first two men to walk on the moon were named Niel and Edwin. The next two were named Charles and Alan.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 21:34 next collapse

But if you asked most people to name the first person on the moon they’d say “Buzz Armstrong”

bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 03 Dec 21:42 next collapse

What are you talking about??

captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works on 04 Dec 02:52 collapse

And they would be wrong. Niel Armstrong didn’t seem to carry a nickname; he was an aviator in the US Navy, who usually end up with callsigns, but I’m struggling to find what his was. Google “assistant” is hallucinating; it’s saying that Neil Armstrong’s navy callsign was “WARL” and links to a Wikipedia page about the oceanographic research ship RV Neil Armstrong(AGOR-27) whose maritime radio callsign is WARL. I know of no personal nickname or callsign of his.

Aldrin, on the other hand…I’m just now learning this. I assumed he got the nickname Buzz as a USAF pilot callsign, but no. His sister Faye mispronounced “brother” as “buzzer” which was shortened to “Buzz.” And he legally changed his name to “Buzz Aldrin” in 1988. It was still a nickname during the Apollo program.

Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world on 04 Dec 03:18 collapse

Yes, most people are wrong about a lot of things. But the zeitgeist of “Buzz” and “Armstrong” on the moon likely informed the naming conventions of fictional characters.

Revan343@lemmy.ca on 04 Dec 01:38 collapse

Edwin Eugene Aldrin Jr. is much more commonly known as Buzz Aldrin, and Buzz Lightyear is named after him.

Obviously the answer to buddy’s question is “whoever was the second guy on the moon” though.

That's "Gnorts Mr Anedl Alien", to you!

Idk how but you clearly doctored the results. The output has more energy in the form of extra punctuation than the input does. Something else was done other than a simple reflection. Please provide precise method of backwarding used.

But Neil Armstrongs backwards is “Sgnorts Mr Alien”.

Anticorp@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 22:04 next collapse

It’s not merely “backwards” when you apply several arbitrary rules to get the results you want.
