Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.

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

It's a brilliant surface in that sunlight. The horizon seems quite close to you because the curvature is so much more pronounced than here on earth. It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it.

A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there.
Neil Armstrong

There are places to go beyond belief.
Neil Armstrong
Image
There are people I'll always love to listen to, and I'm always ending up discovering new songs by them, which is crazy. Like Stevie Wonder.
Neil Armstrong

Research is creating new knowledge.
Neil Armstrong
Image
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
Image
Space has not changed but technology has, in many cases, improved dramatically. A good example is digital technology where today's cell phones are far more powerful than the computers on the Apollo Command Module and Lunar Module that we used to navigate to the moon and operate all the spacecraft control systems.

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.

Good luck, Mr. Gorsky!
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.

Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.
