It was one small interview for astronaut Neil Armstrong ... and one giant scoop for an Australian accountant, of all people. In the year's most out-of-this-world get, the first man to step foot on the moon sat down with CPA (Certified Practicing Account) Australia's Alex Malley to narrate his historic lunar landing in an extremely rare interview. Armstrong was the commander of NASA's three-man Apollo 11 mission that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. Armstrong and fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin spent about two hours on the surface before returning to the Eagle lunar module. The 81-year old American is famously reluctant to discuss the moon landing and has granted very few interviews in the last 40 years -- so why choose to open up to CPA Australia? Malley thinks he knows the answer.

Armstrong laughed off the conspiracy theorists who believe the 1969 moon landing was faked, telling @placeholder's Malley that "800,000 staff at NASA couldn't possibly keep a secret."
