While Collins orbited the moon and piloted the main ship , Armstrong and Buzz descended onto the lunar surface . Earth erupted in celebration . Three humans were up in space , and at that very moment , two of them walked on the surface of the moon , sealing up rocks to take back to Earth and taking some of the most spectacular photos in American history . The enormity of it all wasn ’ t lost on Buzz . “ Everyone felt like they had participated in this incredible journey , and the world welcomed us back as heroes from the moon ,” he recalled . “ However , we understand that people were not just cheering for three guys but for what we represented . That , by the nation and the world coming together , we had accomplished the impossible , and the true value of it is the amazing story of innovation and teamwork that overcame many obstacles to reach the moon .”
Every entrepreneur knows all too well that you can only renegade and bootstrap your business to a point ; if you truly want to grow , you need to build a team that can work together , despite differences in personalities , agendas , and preferences . You , as the leader , are the person responsible for setting the goal and direction , then putting the right team together who can work together , despite differences , to accomplish that goal .
As Buzz said , “ Apollo is the story of people at their best , working together for a common goal . With a united effort and a great team , you too can achieve great things .”
