Their proofreaders are running dry.
I don't know if it's proofreading, or just lack of knowledge of who was the second man to walk on the moon. Maybe their staff is very young, and it's only instantly memorable to those who are old enough to remember those events live. Buzz Aldrin is still alive too, this isn't ancient history yet. Just seemed surprising for a "Tech" website and material covering US manned space flight.
I'm 55 and barely remember the Apollo era. Apollo IS ancient history if you're 30. Its like expecting me to know all about the Depression when I was 30 in 1991.
I'm a few years older than you, and I still know about what Orville and Wilbur Wright did in 1903, and they were both dead before I was born.
