The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet, and our visions go rather further than that, and our opportunities are unlimited.

More quotes by 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 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
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
It's different, but it's very pretty out here. I suppose they are going to make a big deal of all this.
Neil Armstrong
Research is creating new knowledge.
Neil Armstrong
There are two of them up here.
Neil Armstrong
Hey, we missed the whole thing.
Neil Armstrong
I tell you, we're going to be busy for a minute.
Neil Armstrong
It doesn't sound like there was time for the word to be there. On the other hand, I didn't intentionally make an inane statement... certainly the 'a' was intended, because that's the only way the statement makes any sense.
Neil Armstrong
It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
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
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
Good luck, Mr. Gorsky!
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
This blowing dust became increasingly thicker. It was very much like landing in a fast moving ground fog.
Neil Armstrong
All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
Neil Armstrong
The view of the moon that we've been having recently is really spectacular. It fills about three-quarters of the hatch window, and of course we can see the entire circumference even though part of it is in complete shadow and part of it is in earthshine. It's a view worth the price of the trip.
Neil Armstrong
I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.
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
