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
Image
All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.

Good luck, Mr. Gorsky!

Man must understand his universe in order to understand his destiny.
Neil Armstrong
Image
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.

Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.

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.

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
Image
Hey, we missed the whole thing.
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.

A picture does a great job, but it's not nearly like being there.
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
I think if there was anything I learned from our skipper was that it's not how you look it's how you perform.

Start at the end and work back.

Image
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks but for the ledger of our daily work.

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.

Gliders, sail planes, they're wonderful flying machines. It's the closest you can come to being a bird.

Damn I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?
