I thought I'd do a little quiz, have a go, no googling.....
1) When was the declaration of independence signed?
2) Who signed it first?
3) What was the first state to ascend to the union?
4) What word on the DOI was famously misspelled?
5) Who was the 1st American in Space?
6) Who was the third man to step onto the moon
7) Who was the last man to touch the moon?
8) Who was the last man to step onto the moon
9) Who is the only man to orbit the moon twice without landing?
10) How many Golf balls are on the moon
Bit disappointed at the participation! Anyway here are the answers:
1) August 2nd 1776
2) John Hancock
3) Delaware
4) Brittish
5) Alan Shepard
6) Pete Conrad
7) Gene Cernan
8) Harrison Schmitt
9) Jim Lovell
10) 2
TTT...you said no googling, yet did you really expect your fellow Abers to know some...if not all of those?
I'd never even known there was a misspelling in the Declaration of Independence...other information is, sadly, long forgotten.
TBH, I'm not sure many Americans could answer the majority of those questions...could you?
Well pasta like all my quizzes they are from my own knowledge. I am very interested in US history and Geography, especially the space program, I am also a bit of a Quizzer generally. I thought that people would know some of them. I'd expect most Americans to know 2) as "John Hancock" is their slang for signature. Also 5-10 I thought most would know at least one of them.
I met Eugen Cernan at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. When we got off the tour bus he was the meeter and greeter! Nice man. Very nice man. Very, very nice man. Oh he was a nice man. Very nice. Sadly passed away now.
