I'm glad the choice was about being a member of the Beatles rather than a member of the Police, which might have led to some confusion.

Today inBeatles History
1964 - The Beatles single "And I Love Her"/"If I Fell" was released.
1968 - Jane Asher appeared on BBC-TV's "Dee Time." She announced that her relationship with Paul McCartney was over.
1969 - The Beatles viewed a rough cut of the movie "Let it Be."
That's right, even The Beatles would rather have watched themselves than the moon landing. Suck it, moon!

Maybe I can finally get this answered Apollo 8 anniversary RFI: which astronaut brought along "Sleepwalk" on his spaceman Walkman?
― Orpheus in Hull (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 20 July 2013 21:50 (ten years ago) link
Maybe a little less than the widespread acclaim would have it, but I enjoyed Apollo 11. Like CNN's Tricky Dick (CNN did Apollo 11, too), all the footage and sound is contemporaneous--for now, anyway (until this too becomes a cliche), I much prefer that approach to the standard talking-heads documentary. Nixon acquits himself very well during his ceremonial phone call with Neil Armstrong. (For all their similarities, you can bet Trump would have somehow made the moon landing about himself--Nixon seems to sincerely be humbled by the moment.) What I really liked, as much as the space-related activities themselves, was the footage of people setting up on the beach to watch the lift-off. There was something very beautifully everyday about that footage, everybody calm and happy and waiting--a nice contrast to the chaos that you always get in late-'60s footage. (Our Nixon had that too.)

(No mention of the Beatles anywhere, so walking-on-the-moon retakes the lead.)

I've a copy of Full Moon, compiled by photographer Micheal Light (most of the folio pages are reproduced in small scale in the image gallery).
I absolutely would have preferred to have been one of the 12 humans (maybe the last) to walk on another planetary body, especially the later missions Apollo 15-17, where they had multiple extended surface EVAs with the rover, and hammocks to sleep in. Neil and Buzz had to "sleep" seated on the engine in their suits. As for the promiscuous sex & drugs, those were undoubtedly difficult when they were under a NASA and public microscope in the 1960s until they did their landings at ages 36 to 47, but thereafter? There was no shortage of willing groupies.

I just want to jump in and say that dylann's point, upthread, about groupies is basically irrelevant. I'm sure Buzz Aldrin had/could have had his share of effortless sex.
