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
I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.
Neil Armstrong
Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.
Neil Armstrong
Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?
Neil Armstrong

Neil Armstrong
