Question: Neil Armstrong left part of his spacesuit on the moon. What was it?
Answer: After Neil Armstrong took his one giant leap for mankind, his boots were discarded on the moon. Both Apollo 11 astronauts who walked on the lunar surface — Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin — left behind their overshoes to help offset the added weight of moon rocks returning to Earth. The astronauts didn’t return to Earth barefoot: The treaded overshoes they abandoned were worn atop flat-soled pressure boots (which they kept).
