Wow what a gift! I wish I could have met him!

Did you ask for an autograph or a pic?

Awesome experience

I heard Buzz Aldrin speak in Seattle in the mid aughts. After the speech, my boss (now coworker) and I went up to shake his hand. My boss proceeded to make fun of his hair, asking him how long it took him to grow his combover (my boss has had a skullet since before I met him, so he was actually expecting Buzz to take a jab back at him. He wasn’t trying to be rude). If you want to see what kind of person my ex-boss is, just search “Alaska Off-road Warriors.” He is one of the two guys in the red Jeep.

@@CuriousDroid007 As soon as a "trade" developed for his autograph, he stopped signing them.

Quite in contrast to the 'return' press conference.

@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 He knows the questions.

@@maxsmith695 How do you mean, like he's had the questions run by him prior to the interview?

​@@pleasepermitmetospeakohgre1504 something like that. They had a list of press and what the questions will be. Think about returning and not be with your family yet

As opposed to how he was portrayed in the movie First Man, which he was absolutely miserable.

I've always wanted to know what it must have been like back then and now with Artemis, SpaceX, and Blue Origin all pushing for the moon again I'm happy I get to experience something like it. I'll admit I am disappointed with my generation's apparent lack of interest (born in 2000) in space flight but for those of us in the circle it's an amazing time can't wait until we finally get back.

Well said 👏🏾

Legend forever. Excellent comment

That's if he actually made it to the moon ! 🤔 I can't help but think their destination was only outer space . Wouldn't that be the biggest hoax ever ? At least Mr Armstrong would still be famous for something . I haven't heard all their interviews , but I only hear them marvel about the sight of the earth ??? 🤨

@@Gerrard_7up better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you a fool than open it and erase all doubt.

@@mariamaria2751 - Executive lounge.

I was lucky to see him at the Delta Crown Club Room in Cincinnati in June, 2008. He came in and sat down about ten feet from me. Neil will always be first. And yes, it was an honor and privilege.

Awesome, and I believe it's actually Dr Armstrong : ) You're very lucky!

bc he never went to the moon

@@madride858585 You're a uncultured conspiracy believer that will believe anything

So true, and so rare. The Kardashians could learn form him, as well as all the dumbo actors who give Oscar speeches.

@@madride858585 neil armstrong went to the moon and it is not fake

@@hrymurthy9389 If he did actually walk on the moon,,, why would he never swear on the bible that he did it ?? He even decked a reporter for questioning him about it…. Doesn’t that sound like the actions of a man with a very big secret to you?? Ask yourself where the fuel tanks were on the lunar lander as well,,,, it had to take off from the moon and return to the mothership,,,, but where is all the fuel for the trip stored? And if the lunar lander used rockets to aid its descent,,, where’s the crater underneath it and all the scorch marks around the rockets nozzles?! You’ve seen what a helicopter does to loose sand and dust,,, imagine what multiple rockets would do a dusty surface , yet there’s absolutely no sign at all of them being used. It didn’t happen or it would have been colonised over the last 50 years if they genuinely had the technology to get there

Yes, on the XCOR X-Racer I was surprised at how much the noise dropped off as we climbed. On the first flight, the intercom was inoperative, some electrical issues we didn't want to delay for, so we placarded it and I used my push-to-talk switch on the second radio channel to talk to Rick. Thirty seconds into flight we simply started shouting at each other over the wind and engine noise. Even for a horizontal takeoff vehicle the ground reflects a LOT of noise. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pNSkkpidmLy-oXk.html

Right there with you. I was 9 when 11 launched. I watched it from our front yard on Merritt Island with my mother and brothers. It was a magical time even for a 9 year old. Armstrong was a class act and was exactly the correct person to be the 1st. Buzz is great in his own way, but Armstrong was the perfect choice. He was a childhood hero of mine. I only wish I could have met him in person. I was fortunate to meet John Young a few times while I was working in the OPF. I had him sign an 8x10 glossy of him, a famous shot, saluting while jumping from the surface of the Moon. I wish I could have photographed his face when I pulled the photo out of the envelope. He personalized the signing with “To Charlie with a salute from Descartes Base MOON, Best Regards, John Young. Talking to someone who walked on the moon is a humbling thing. Very humbling.

@@charlieromeo7663 Charlie, never forget: We. Were. There.

The reality is that they only traveled in earth's lower orbit the entire time throughout the mission. The moonlanding footage was recorded the year before here on earth. It's confirmed. The trip would have been one-way and a failure. The Johnson administration fabricated all the touchdown and surface footage.

​@@Carryoutmybidding425 That's not true.

@@Carryoutmybidding425 Yeah, and JFK survived the shooting and lived as an invalid on a Greek island owned by Onassis, which is why Jackie pretended to marry him. As the weather warms up you'll need to add more tinfoil to your hat.

Agree completely. The Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, is named for him. It is NASA's primary center for atmospheric flight research and test projects.

He was a test pilot there before being picked up for the Apollo program

I disagree, he knew where he was going and what to expect before he took off from the ground. The Apollo program had the support of the entire country

He served on aircraft carriers, so it would be a good fit, but there are naming conventions for ships. They can be changed, however.

.....he would be on a coin made of fool's gold.

Assuming the platform for viewing still exists and the cabal has not had them 'erased'.

It was done in a studio in New Mexico. 400,000 subcontractors had no clue. but 400,000 is a fake number. only 4,000 worked at NASA

@@maxsmith695 It was filmed at Elstree studios using the sets that Kubrick just finished filming 2001 space odessey with. Rumsfeld and Kissinger organised it. In America,, they sent the rocket into lower earth orbit,,,, then played in the fimed footage,,, and then splashed the rocket down completing the biggest lie in history . Stanleys wife signed a sworn affidavit on it,,, and his granddaughter has some very interesting things to say about the whole thing too…..

@@nooneimportant666 Any source on this? Rumsfeld was a Congressman from Illinois in 1968. Are you referring to some events after January 1969 when Don R. went to work for Nixon. I am assuming Nixon felt Rumsfeld and HK were two of his smarter advisors. He have both a great amount of power. Do you think those 3 persons emerging from the capsule in the ocean were Navy Seals or similar? My guess is that capsule was dropped from a C-5 cargo plane at 4,000-6,000 feet.

@@maxsmith695 The footage was filmed in advance ‘just incase’ using cia agents. Then after Neil crashed the bedspring again it was decided to go with the footage because it was obvious we didn’t have the technology needed to make such a mission and risk possible global humiliation over something that was deemed so important to America 🇺🇸 The guys who splashed down were the right people,,, they just hadn’t been where they said they had!

Why do my links keep disappearing?? 🤔 I couldn’t find the original doc I saw,,, but this video shows clips from it and mentions RN ,DR, HK , and a couple of CIA ‘doubles’ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbljlc-el9HOpaM.html

How did it benefit mankind?

@@TeeTee-zm2re Most of the technology we have today was developed in and created by NASA (and its contractors) during the 1960s space programs. Also, many management philosophies and operations practices like current-day project and product management used by technology, manufacturing, and financial companies around the world today were developed during that same time. All this came out of the 50s/60s space and development programs. So, yes, it has benefited mankind for the past 50 years and will continue to do so.

​@kevinneptune587 After talking wirh people who remembered the landing, it had a bit if a psychological impact as well, where people briefly put aside their differences.

Someone likened the so called moon landing journey to the Lewis and Clark expedition . They couldn't get that done without the help of a young Shoshone Indian girl . How are we to believe that these humans made it to the moon and back , at the first try !!!!???🤨🤔

@@-Swamp_Donkey-There were chunks in Armstrong’s stools that were a better man than you’ll ever be.

@@SolarChronicle I’ve heard it said that it’s easier to fool a man than to convince them they’ve been fooled. It never happened. It’s so incredibly far fetched, it’s laughable.

@@-Swamp_Donkey- " I’ve heard it said that it’s easier to fool a man than to convince them they’ve been fooled." Hence flat earthers, election deniers and moon landing deniers.

Apollo 12 was legendary too. Unfortunately, it's mostly forgotten, being sandwiched between 11 and 13. Everyone knows Armstrong and Aldrin but not Conrad and Bean. Same with the other 4 missions 14-17. If only people stopped to think...

@@speedbirdconcorde001 - I think I know what you are saying. 90% would not.

Perhaps something more peaceful like a space lab or telescope

There is a research ship out of Woods Hole named after him. It was launched in 2014, just two years after his death. We'll remember you, Mr. Armstrong.

@@DavidMcdonald-df8tb Armstrong himself likely killed 100s of people during his service in the Korean War as a ground attack fighter. A very overlooked part of his career.

@@cwcovington16 but that's not why he's so famous. The moon landing was presented as a peace mission for all mankind.

Maybe we do not bother to try & debate with psychotic people who believe in aliens and spaceships.

​@@madride858585One of 18 of the best liars!

@@madride858585Yawn….

I remember watching it as it happened!

thanks I will.

And a liar.

Nah. Went furthest, but had a lot of assistance and tech. Still marco polo or alexander the great IMHO, considering the tech of the time. Or maybe the antartic explorers.

There were three men on that ship.

That's if he actually went, which is debatable really.

I mean what did he actually do? Studied, trained, followed the protocol, sat in the rocket and did what he had to do. A plan studied in detail.. You can't compare him to a guy like Shackleton. If you gotta give credit for the moon, i give 75% to the engineers!

@@NoName-to5xl I have to disagree with you. Marco Polo was just a merchant who happened to record his travels. Most of the places he went his dad had gone to before, taking Marco with him once he was old enough. Yes, his writing are very important and brought a lot of change to the western civilization after his death, but he was a merchant first and foremost. As for Alexander the Great, he was more of a conqueror than an explorer. While he is no doubt one of the most significant people in human history, it is not due to exploration. I think I would have to give it to Magellan. His discoveries helped shape our understanding of the world we live in. Marco Polo only helped with the understanding of other cultures from his era. I would agree that antarctic explorers probably had one of the purest spirits for exploration, but I don't think the impact of their discoveries is as important in the grand scheme of things.

Faked moon landing

Gemini 8 - tumbling on three axis. Getting control restored was one of the greatest feats in aviation and space flight.

So cool to see how far humanity has gotten so far!

Yeah, the movie 'First Man' portrayed him as almost robotic, with little to no emotion. He was well known to be a private man, but it is clear that does have emotions, a sense of humor, and can be quite personable.

@@jsmith1746 yeah, i was thinking about how he was portrayed there, to other interviews he was quite happy too. Maybe it’s to protect the privacy of how he really was.

Watch him at the apollo 11 'return' press conference, he doesn't look so happy there.
