What was the internet's very first message?

Original: Question of the Day: What was the first message ever sent over the internet?

A news outlet's Question of the Day asks readers what the first message ever sent over the internet was. The commonly cited answer comes from 1969, when researchers at UCLA attempted to send the word 'LOGIN' to a computer at Stanford Research Institute over ARPANET; the system crashed after just the first two letters, 'LO'.

Why now: The trivia question is drawing curiosity about a famous milestone in internet history.
