Q. 

A journalist once told Pete Conrad that the words were all made up by the government. Conrad wanted to prove this wasn't the case, and he told the journalist exactly what he was going to say. He also made a bet for $ 500 to prove that he was going to say it.

Conrad was not a very tall man. He made good on his promise and said those first words: "Whoopie! Man, that may have been a small one for but that's a long one for me."

Who is Pete Conrad, the third man to achieve something? What original quote was he alluding to?
