The turkey has landed

It was sad news hearing about the death of Michael Collins this week. He was one of the three astronauts of Apollo 11 and flew the command module while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon.

When the lunar module landed on the moon, Neil Armstrong announced that "The Eagle has landed."

Now this got me thinking about the appropriateness of the phrase. Eagle was used to symbolise the USA. However, the turkey is much more synonymous with the US.

"The Turkey has landed" would have been more accurate.

What other quotes, phrases, terms and names etc throughout history could have been very different?

They probably did. How about "Let them eat coq"?

Star Trek could have been very different too if they had spoken Latin, Ad eundum quo nemo ante iit – To boldly go where no man has gone before

If cattle hadn't been the main meat stock during the pioneering years of the wild west America but pigs were instead. We could have had pigboys or porkboys instead of cowboys!

The Eagle was also used by the Roman legions and the Nazis ... for America I’d suggest the cuckoo... seems to fit better

I've heard the story. A very good and funny one but, disappointingly, an urban myth.

Collins told Armstrong that if he had any balls his first words on the moon would be, "My god, what is that thing?", followed by a scream, and then cutting his mic.
