More quotes by Neil Armstrong
A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there.
Neil Armstrong
We have no proof, But if we extrapolate, based on the best information we have available to us, we have to come to the conclusion that ... other life probably exists out there and perhaps in many places.
Neil Armstrong
History will remember the twentieth century for two technological developments: atomic energy and space flight.
Neil Armstrong
I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.
Neil Armstrong
Yeah, I wasn't chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn't planned by anyone.
Neil Armstrong
Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.
Neil Armstrong
I guess because deejaying has become my job, I tend to listen to really horrible stuff on my spare time. If you heard my iPod you'd be like, what the hell?
Neil Armstrong
The [Moon] surface is fine and powdery. I can kick it up loosely with my toe. It does adhere in fine layers like powdered charcoal to the sole and sides of my boots. I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine sandy particles.
Neil Armstrong
Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.
Neil Armstrong
I believe that the message of Apollo XI was that in the spirit of Apollo, a free and open spirit, you can attack a very difficult goal and achieve it, if you can all agree and work together to achieve that goal.
Neil Armstrong
Research is creating new knowledge.
Neil Armstrong
Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.
Neil Armstrong
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work.
Neil Armstrong
I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.
Neil Armstrong
As I stepped on the moon, I looked around, dazed...magnifice nt. The vast, sandy silver surface was almost illusory.
Neil Armstrong
I think if there was anything I learned from our skipper was that it's not how you look it's how you perform.
Neil Armstrong
Houston, that may have seemed like a very long final phase. The autotargeting was taking us right into a ... crater, with a large number of big boulders and rocks ... and it required ... flying manually over the rock field to find a reasonably good area.
Neil Armstrong
It's a great thing for a man to walk on the moon. But it's a greater thing for God to walk on the earth.
Neil Armstrong
I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer - born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace, and propelled by compressible flow.
Neil Armstrong
I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
Neil Armstrong
