But Neil Armstrongs backwards is “Sgnorts Mr Alien”.

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?"

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 3 points 4 months ago

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

What are you talking about??

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.

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.

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.

24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Buzz Aldrin's name backwards is: Nird Lazzub

Leonard Nimoy's name backwards is: Yo, min! Dr. Ano El?

Benedict Cumberbatch's name backward is: HG Wells, Cthulhu Balthazor

It's also an anagram for "O girl, transmen!"

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

Why so complicated? Neil A. = Alien

[-] weststadtgesicht@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 4 months ago

Because this is not about being easy, it's about being funny

[-] justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago

He was an alien on the moon

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 5 points 4 months ago

The entire name is "Gnorts mr. anedl Alien"

Anedl is something related to AI

DC comics, aliens, the moon and AI are all related

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Alan Tudyk has entered the chat.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Assman@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

That's one small step for gnorts

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.
