text: when armstrong landed on the moon who was with him? question- who was the first person to give remarkable ideas for a flyong machine.a very prominently renouned personal. none of his designs would have worked as they were too heavy. actually the only other person with him on the moon was buzz aldrin. michael collins was circling the moon, and i'm not sure how dave scott fits in. he was an apollo astronaut, but other than that....  as to the other person, you are probably thinking of leonardo da vinci. but i'm pretty sure he got the idea from birds.
