"Man the moon" 

To "man the moon" is to prepare the outter moon of the planet Earth for use as a projectile toward an opposing force. It is a slang term referring to the use of an ultimatum toward an enemy or threat. "Man(ing) the moon" originated as a commonly posted phrase exisiting in the lingo of the web site www.4chan.com. When a picture,news piece,subject,etc is posted that is so menecing,threatening,unbeleivable or overwhelming it is beyond the description of ordinary words, it is common in the 4chan community to post the phrase "man the harpoons" with a small avatar of a readied harpoon(s). Likewise, if the forerunning post is particularly impressive, it is then often dubbed necessary to "man the moon". A picture of the moon coliding with the Earth is often posted along with the phrase.

First Man On The Moon

On July 21, 1969, with the Apollo 11 Spaceflight, Neil Armstrong was the 1st human to step on the Moon! Buzz Aldrin joined him 20 minutes later & they spent 2 1/4th hours gathering 47.5 pounds of lunar material for return to Earth. Pilot Michael Collins stayed in lunar orbit until they returned to the ship. July 24th was splashdown at 819 miles SW of Hawaii. As Neil Armstrong took his 1st step onto the surface of the Moon, he said "1 small step by a man; 1 giant leap for mankind."
I was fortunate to see the live TV broadcast of the First Man On The Moon & it had tremendous impact on me, starting a lifelong love of space & the Moon.
