More quotes by 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
When you deejay a party, a good DJ's job is to take care of the crowd. If people want to hear Britney Spears, that's what you're supposed to do.
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
It never hurts to have friends around, so that's why you'd form a crew.
Neil Armstrong
Gliders, sail planes, they're wonderful flying machines. It's the closest you can come to being a bird.
Neil Armstrong
I can honestly say - and it's a big surprise to me - that I have never had a dream about being on the moon.
Neil Armstrong
How we use the knowledge we gain determines our progress on earth, in space or on the moon. Your library is a storehouse for mind and spirit. Use it well.
Neil Armstrong
Start at the end and work back.

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 thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.
Neil Armstrong
This blowing dust became increasingly thicker. It was very much like landing in a fast moving ground fog.
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
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.
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
We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected.
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
Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?
Neil Armstrong
Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
Neil Armstrong
