Moon Landing on Instagram Live

July 20, 1969: Neil Armstrong is not just taking a step for mankind – he's going Live on Instagram from the Moon. In this upside-down history, NASA's got a social media team on standby. As the Eagle lands, Buzz Aldrin cues up a perfect Spotify playlist ("Fly Me to the Moon," naturally) for the ultimate touchdown music. Neil's suit has a GoPro, and he's rehearsing his first words like it's a TikTok challenge catchphrase.

Moments before stepping out, Neil quickly tweets, "First! #Moon 🌕" which instantly trends worldwide. When he delivers the famous line, he adds "...and don't forget to like and subscribe!" as if ending a YouTube vlog. Buzz hops down next, dabbing in slow motion for the Vine (yes, they brought Vine back just for this). Back on Earth, millions of people are glued to their phones – TV is so passé when you have Armstrong's selfie angle beaming straight from space.

The astronauts plant the flag and then snap a quick selfie together – the first interplanetary photobomb, as Michael Collins leans in from the command module window in orbit. Neil leaves a Yelp review for the Moon: "4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✰ – great view, no atmosphere 😉." Before boarding back, they sign off the Live with, "Thanks for watching our TED Talk from the Moon!" NASA's account gains millions of followers overnight, proving that even beyond Earth, content is king and the Moon is just one giant stage for going viral.
