An Audience with Neil Armstrong (2011 interview)

In this interview, the first man to walk on the moon gives a personal commentary on Apollo 11’s historic lunar landing along with his thoughts on leadership and taking risks to innovate for the future.
Neil Armstrong is a household name, yet, in contrast to his crew-mate Buzz Aldrin, he has studiously stayed out of the spotlight in the decades since he walked on the Moon. He frequently passed on interview and advertising requests, all the while beating back unwelcome advances on his legacy.
So it was a coup of sorts for Certified Practicing Accountants organization of Australia to score an extended interview with Armstrong, a connection that seems about as natural as a two-headed kangaroo. (CEO Alex Malley had developed the relationship, sharing his concerns about long-term strategic planning both in business and politics with Armstrong. The interview was a part of CPA Australia’s 125th anniversary celebration.)
Armstrong shows flashes of the rationality and equanimity that made him an ideal astronaut candidate in the first place. He confesses that he gave Apollo 11 a 90% chance of returning home safely, but just a 50% chance of landing on the Moon successfully. He expresses a sense of fate about his dangerous work as a test pilot and astronaut, refusing to worry about future tasks because he figured something would go wrong first and he’d be otherwise engaged firing the ejection seat or scrambling to repair a valve. Of his time on the Moon’s surface: “we weren’t there to meditate, we were there to get things done.”

Neal was very smart. Probably a 140-150 IQ. That is why he picked this guy to give the interview to. Every pilot in the world would have jumped at the chance to interview Neal. Neal did not want that. He had a message to send to the world, and needed a non aviation guy as the conduit. I consider this interview a confession, based on what he said. Dr. Werhner von Braun was more blatant. Neal was far more subtle. He camouflaged it well to the non pilot world. He died soon after this.

I wrote that I was very interested in the Apollo program and that I had articles from Soviet newspapers of that time about all the flights of the Apollo ships and Apollo 11 in particular. I was always struck by the disbelief of some people in flights to the Moon and especially residents of the United States. A wonderful interview, unfortunately one of the last.

    What a great interview!!. I was born in April 1957, and was allowed to stay up all night here in the uk(Birmingham), to watch the moon landing live on my parents tv. Very exciting, we could hardly believe what we were seeing, hoping that all would be well and thrilled when all three astronauts made it safely home to earth, still to this day an emotionally charged memory. The thing that this film finally made clear to me was, as I have always wondered how Neil managed to fly the eagle down to the surface, hopping over that large crater, (when the picture we had was so fuzzy from the camera they had looking out the window), the view he had was so much better as the film shows. Even so to make it down with so little fuel and time to spare, showed that Neil and Buzz Aldrin were indeed, both made of the 'right stuff !!. They will never be forgotten, thank you, what courage, and what great pioneers.

Penetrated the Van Allen radiation belts on the first try. Orbited the moon on the first try. Successfully launched a lunar lander, and landed on the moon on the first try. Successfully re-launched the lunar lander off of the moon......., on the first try. Linked the two crafts, in lunar orbit, on the first try. Made a successful return voyage from the moon........ on the first try. Landed safely back on earth.......... on the first try. That's a lot of firsts!!! The first of ANYTHING never works.

I am rarely at a loss for words but that was one of them. I weakly said I don't think you need to introduce yourself (with a smile on my face). He stayed around for pictures with everyone. He had a lovely moment with Chuck Berry, MD who was the Flight Surgeon for Apollo 13 and is depicted in the movie. After that luncheon meeting and sitting with him if I had died that day I would have gone to my grave a contented man. All of us who worked with Space Shuttle operations were crushed at his unexpected death after surgery.

" As we get further away from earth, ( traveling at 17,000 mph), we will pass through the Van Allen Belts, an area of dangerous radiation, radiation like this can harm the guidance systems , onboard computers, or other electronics on Orion. Naturally, we have to pass through this dangerous zone twice, once up and once back. But Orion has protection, shielding will be put to the test, as the vehicle cuts through the waves of radiation, sensors aboard will record radiation levels for scientists to study. We must solve these CHALLENGES , BEFORE we send people through this region of space. " There is your proof the Apollo moon landing missions are how do you say - FAKE NEWS.

They take a few things, blow them out of proportion, and it allows them to pretend the whole thing never happened. Rather than looking at the mountains of evidence that exist, they go out of their way to make these wacko assertions. Could it remotely be that they are testing a new spacecraft, with new equipment, and new mission parameters? It’s a different NASA now, they are not allowed for political and societal reasons to be as bold as they were when this was first done in the late 60s, so there’s a lot more involved now with ramping up to these missions. And since they haven’t done this in 50 years, they want to make sure they get it right before putting billions of dollars and human lives at risk. Too logical for your kind.

Neil certainly was a personal hero of mine and he and the entire program inspired me into a career in aviation. i never achieved the lofty goal to become an astronaut, but i did retire in 2016 after 40 years as an airline pilot, having flown for such airlines as Eastern and PanAm. I retired from Southwest. Neil and his compatriots and the entire space program were decisive for me in choosing the career that i did. I always will be thankful for the example these fine men set to a young man like myself in those days.

It shows you everything about the character of the astronauts, that they took something to represent the killed Russian astronauts up to leave on the moon as well. They respected them as colleagues.

    38 years old when he commanded the Apollo 11 mission and walked on the moon. He ejected from a Lunar Excursion Module simulator roughly two seconds before it crashed, nearly parachuted into flames from the crash of LEM simulator, went back to his office and returned to work. I've read a dozen books about Neil Armstrong... and in each one it becomes even more clear what a remarkably cool, calm, level-headed and unflappable man he was. Extraordinary guy and of a kind we won't see again for a long, long time.

    J Calhoun Your insults are less than affective for bolstering the position you defend. They display more of your character than your lower mind can interpret. The being labeled Neil A. Armstrong, you refer to as my “better”, was stripped of his basic humanity, and thrust into a precarious position requiring deceit and showmanship. An entire generation of partially drug addled humans readily consumed his offerings, mostly influenced by the mind altering chemicals (if not their inflated egos), and so began our collective downward spiral, with beliefs in fantastical ideas of human abilities beyond our natural world. The results are quite obvious. Your assumed portion of leadership in these times has been a failure. Make way for this awakening, for you have done your part to hasten the decline. The input you provide is not adequate now, just as in the past.

To make sure astute listeners understand he did not misspeak, he introduces several of these outlier and preposterous comments that serve one purpose.

    @KingDiamonds1 Here's a 'heads up for you. I'm now 76 and when the first of the Apollo Moon Landings happened in 1969 I was 24. At the time, I was an electrician at the Honeysuckle Radio Relay Station near Canberra Australia. I was part of a team of electricians who were on maintenance duties for the radio transmission equipment. There was another team of us at the Parks Radio 'Telescope' which was also involved in the Apollo 11 communications. Even though I was not directly involved in the amazing events that day in 1969, not being a Radio Communications Technician, I was there when the first radio signals came in from Apollo 11 way out there on the surface of the Moon. We received the first signals from Apollo 11 as we were the Hemisphere that was facing the Moon at the time. North America had no direct radio communication as the Moon was not visible in their Hemisphere. The Radio Technicians relayed the signals back to Mission Control in Houston Texas. It was a great moment and highlight in my life personally. Yes, I was one of the 400.000 people worldwide who were involved in the SIX Apollo Moon Landings. Now stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

    @@LiamC328 . And in your case. anyone can come here and try to discredit and belittle the achievements of others. Others, who are obviously far more intelligent than the likes of you. If the truth be known, you didn't even exist back in the late 60s, early 70. The gall of you basement-dwelling schmucks, who dare spit into the face of men like Neil Armstrong. A man who has had a far more adventurous and heroic life than an ignorant dim wit like you has ever had. Utterly appalling and cowardly.

    Dearest Slaribartfast -- Although I recognize the lateness of my reply, I offer my appreciation of your making available to the public your conversation with the honorable Mr. Armstrong. His heroism has provided to me and to my regiment inspiration as we continue our battle with the pesky confederates. -- Andrew.

    It was pure luck that I found this interview on the internet in August 2012 and downloaded it. It was taken down some time later from where I found it, and I forgot about it. Years later I found it again on my harddrive, and after realizing it was nowhere on KZread or any other place in the web, I decided to publish it. I never thought it would get as many views as it did.
