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
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
Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.
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
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
Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.
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 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
Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.
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
It's a strange, eerie sensation to fly a lunar landing trajectory not difficult, but somewhat complex and unforgiving.
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 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
Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.
Neil Armstrong
I tell you, we're going to be busy for a minute.
Neil Armstrong
I'm substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They're sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they're hitting back and forth.
Neil Armstrong
As I stepped on the moon, I looked around, dazed...magnifice nt. The vast, sandy silver surface was almost illusory.
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
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
It never hurts to have friends around, so that's why you'd form a crew.
