I guess we will have a Mars walk in the near future :melting_face:

Michael Jackson made the moonwalk definitely popular or maybe it was the improvement of social media reaching more people.

I’ve mentioned this before…

If I was Buzz Aldrin, I would have tackled Armstrong on the ladder…then shot past him to be the first man on the Moon!

Oh yeah! Then all of the school books would be teaching about The Buzzster! Not kidding, I would have done that if I were in his boots.

Jeffrey Daniel, member of Shalamar, in an amazing live…
Daniel first performed “the backslide”, a physically complicated dance technique, now known as the “moonwalk” on British television, during a performance of Shalamar’s “A Night to Remember” on Top of the Pops.
The song was a hit in 1982, almost a year before Michael Jackson moonwalked on the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever television broadcast. He was a big fan of Soul Train - on which Jeffrey Daniel had been a back-up dancer.

According to Jackson’s sister La Toya, Jackson was a fan of Daniel’s dancing and sought him out. He soon met, hired and learned from Daniel
