More quotes by Neil Armstrong
Man must understand his universe in order to understand his destiny.
Neil Armstrong
Hey, we missed the whole thing.
Neil Armstrong
The Eagle has landed.
Neil Armstrong
If you don't know who you are, a university is an expensive place to find out.
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
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
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
Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?
Neil Armstrong
This blowing dust became increasingly thicker. It was very much like landing in a fast moving ground fog.
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
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
I believe that the message of Apollo XI was that in the spirit of Apollo, a free and open spirit, you can attack a very difficult goal and achieve it, if you can all agree and work together to achieve that goal.
Neil Armstrong
Start at the end and work back.
Neil Armstrong
I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.
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
Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.
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
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
As I stepped on the moon, I looked around, dazed...magnifice nt. The vast, sandy silver surface was almost illusory.
Neil Armstrong
