Didja know that when Neil Armstrong became the first human being to walk on the Moon (or simply on "another planet"), he was only making $17,000 a year? :shock: He couldn't even afford life insurance. :?

AND, as the Flight Commander, he was the highest-paid member of the entire Apollo 11 crew, since he had already earned some space time on the earlier Gemini 8 space mission.

That salary equates to about $102,000 in 2014 money, but his insurance would have cost more than $250,000 in today's dollars.
