In June, 2008 I was traveling to Boston for a few days vacation. During my layover at the Cincinnati airport, I went to the Delta Crown Room. No sooner had I sat down than Neil Armstrong came in, pulling a carry-on bag, and sat down about ten feet from me. He looked exactly as he does here, wearing khakis and a short sleeve blue dress shirt. Having watched a hundred space documentaries, I recognized him instantly. I'm not often star struck, but Armstrong will always be a legend, and he's a guy who earned his status. Rest in peace, Neil.

I heard Buzz Aldrin speak in Seattle in the mid aughts. After the speech, my boss (now coworker) and I went up to shake his hand. My boss proceeded to make fun of his hair, asking him how long it took him to grow his combover (my boss has had a skullet since before I met him, so he was actually expecting Buzz to take a jab back at him. He wasn’t trying to be rude). If you want to see what kind of person my ex-boss is, just search “Alaska Off-road Warriors.” He is one of the two guys in the red Jeep.

I saw the Apollo Astronauts in a parade in Sunnyside Queens after their arrival home. I have vivid memories of that but this is the first time I ever heard Armstrong talk about his experience. He still seems to be excited and moved by it, but then again, how could you not be.

He’s always downplayed the extreme danger involved in that undertaking. No one knew more than those guys how much could go wrong and yet they flew anyway. A real hero.

As for Alexander the Great, he was more of a conqueror than an explorer. While he is no doubt one of the most significant people in human history, it is not due to exploration. I think I would have to give it to Magellan. His discoveries helped shape our understanding of the world we live in. Marco Polo only helped with the understanding of other cultures from his era.

Neil armstrong will forever be a legend

I think of Neil Armstrong and the dangerous vehicles he flew. He flew the X-15 rocket plane where a slight deviation in the angle of attack sent him shooting past his landing spot at Edwards Air Force Base and he had to wing it with an improvised return path. He flew Gemini 8 where a stuck thruster sent the capsule spinning out of control and he threw out all the rule books to regain control before he passed out. Then the lunar lander training vehicle which the wind tipped out of control and from which he ejected with only a few seconds to spare. Then flying Apollo 11's Eagle for real where he took over the controls when the computer headed for a landing in a field of boulders. A super pilot he was, and a real engineer to boot.

LOL. The last comment by Ed Bradley is "In the end it worked for you (referring to the lunar lander)", and then the interview ends. I would love to hear Neil's response.

Man, just think, one year later, Ed Bradley would pass away and seven years later, so would Neil Armstrong. Lord have mercy! ... SMH ...

The four greatest pilots who ever lived: Manfred Richthofen, Niel Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Robin Olds!

Interesting how all the landing on the moon deniers aren’t here pushing their idiocy. Armstrong is all class.

"If it looks good, it flys good" doesn't apply in the vacuum of space.

Cried for hours after he died. What a great man he was

Imagine finding out he was a total fraud, never went to the moon and that he spent his whole life lying about it being part of the deception of governments. You would come to just hate him and regret having shed a tear for someone who showed 0 fs to give to billions of people for lying

A true American hero. Risked his life to make history and beat the Russians to the moon. Then, instead of chasing money or power, became a college professor to educate the next generation of scientists.

In retrospect ARMSTRONG was def the right choice with the right stuff to be the first man to pilot and walk on the moon !

I just watched a documentary that stated Neil Armstrong never did any interviews. So I got curious. Conspiracy theorists get on my nerves!

this was well after the bbc documentary, well well after the clip of him holding back tears at the conference post landing

@@dennismoose2152 Neil is an introvert who spend decades under an intense spotlight. After NASA, he went back to teaching and stayed out of the limelight. Is that a crime of some sort?

Plan to do some yard work eventually, but right now, nothing.

Often the people who have achieved the most are the most humble. Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney are kind of that way too.

Ses enfant doivent être fier de lui

It always amazes me how these astronauts were just as much cowboys as they were scientists.

It’s really sad he passed. He walked on the moon

Armstrong. Strange guy to choose to walk on the moon. You think they would have gone with Legstrong for the moon-walking.

With less gravity, strong legs are not an essential.

Its a shame that Neil never got to see the true extent of American spaceflight nowadays.
