The Moonwalk(s)

Bumming around YouTube I came across Michael Jackson's career defining dance move, the moonwalk. It made its debut in 1983 at the Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, and Forever celebration in probably the finest performance of Billy Jean. Our younger readers may not realize the impact the moonwalk made on young America at the time. Everyone was trying to do the moonwalk and if you could nail it, you were cool. It was, at the time, the ultimate dance move. Unfortunately, time hasn't been too kind with MJ, but as this performance proves, no matter what, he'll always remain one of America's greatest entertainment performers.

NOTE: Michael's moonwalk appears almost at the four minute mark. Also, we've included the video of the actual Apollo 11 lunar landing from 1969 because, um, we're all about learning? Yeah, that sounds right.
