This blowing dust became increasingly thicker. It was very much like landing in a fast moving ground fog.

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
Image
Now and then I miss the excitement about being in the cockpit of an airplane and doing new things.
Neil Armstrong
Image
Pilots take no special joy in walking: pilots like flying.
Neil Armstrong
Image
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
Image
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.

Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.

There are places to go beyond belief.

Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed.

Image
I was elated, ecstatic and extremely surprised that we were successful.
Neil Armstrong
Image
Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?
Neil Armstrong
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I guess because deejaying has become my job, I tend to listen to really horrible stuff on my spare time. If you heard my iPod you'd be like, what the hell?
Neil Armstrong
Image
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
Image
The [Moon] surface is fine and powdery. I can kick it up loosely with my toe. It does adhere in fine layers like powdered charcoal to the sole and sides of my boots. I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine sandy particles.

A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there.
Neil Armstrong
Image
I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.
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.

It never hurts to have friends around, so that's why you'd form a crew.
