More quotes by Neil Armstrong
I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.
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
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work.
Neil Armstrong
The single thing which makes any man happiest is the realization that he has worked up to the limits of his ability, his capacity. It's all the better, of course, if this work has made a contribution to knowledge, or toward moving the human race a little farther forward.
Neil Armstrong
Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.
Neil Armstrong
Technology makes good DJ's better, but also allows your average person to think they're a DJ, and unfortunately there's no checks and balances about people making it a career.
Neil Armstrong
I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.
Neil Armstrong
I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.
Neil Armstrong
The Eagle has landed.
Neil Armstrong
There are places to go beyond belief.
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
A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there.
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
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
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
It's a strange, eerie sensation to fly a lunar landing trajectory not difficult, but somewhat complex and unforgiving.
Neil Armstrong
No matter when you had been to this spot before, a thousand years ago or a hundred thousand years ago, or if you came back to it a million years from now, you would see some different things each time, but the scene would be generally the same.
Neil Armstrong
It never hurts to have friends around, so that's why you'd form a crew.
Neil Armstrong
Research is creating new knowledge.
Neil Armstrong
Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?
Neil Armstrong
