The moon landing at 50: Neil Armstrong in his own words

But You were almost killed! “ yeah but I wasn’t “ 🤣🤣🤣💪🏼

The man was on the brink of tears 50 years later talking about his dead daughter. Being a father of a child who's the same age as Neil's daughter was when she passed I can understand why. You'll never ever get over it. Never. No matter what you do or achieve. It'll always devastate you as long as you live. Godspeed Neil.

Simply a legend, and a lovely modest person. A true hero.

I sat in Neil's Washington DC office where he worked for about a year on July10th, 1970. My Uncle Nels worked for NASA at its DC Headquarters and I was alone that evening with the chance he would come back from Langley where he was at that day. His secretary and my uncle were friends and she allowed this 18 year old to wait alone in his office. At 8 PM, I left to travel back by rail and bus to Wheaton, MD where my aunt and uncle lived. He did not come back that evening. An opportunity not realized.....but a memory of possiblly meeting a man who first stepped on The Moon 355 days or less than a year earlier. He knew I had been there and sent me an autograph picture to my home in Philadelphia, thanking me for waiting for him and saying he would have come back to the office if he had known I was there.

All three of these men - Armstrong, Cronkite, and Bradley - are now gone. So glad we have the video preserved here.

Ed Bradley died of cancer the year after this. That strikes me as he asks how Armstrong dealt with his toddler’s cancer death.

this guy radiated such warmth, i love his smile, when he said the moon was an interesting place to be “I recommend it” it really made me chuckle. Rest in peace commander, you’ve secured your legacy forever.

"I don't think I will get the chance but I'm not going to say I'm not available". Such a willingness for more of the "impossible". Much respect and love for him. Amazing legend. 💜

Famous for being the first to set foot on the moon. He felt we all should be recognized "For the ledger of our daily work." That is the epitome of an ultimate workaholic. Still it would have been wonderful to be one of those students to have a college instructor that walked on the moon.

Interviewer: “You were just almost killed!” Neil: “Well, I wasn’t.” True badass.

I was ten years old in the summer of '69. Neil Armstrong was a childhood hero of mine, as were all of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo astronauts. They seemed larger than life and eternal. The world doesn't seem right without Neil Armstrong in it.

Neil was just such a good man.. Very logical and stable. I wish I could be so well prepared to live my life as he.. May GOD Bless Neil Armstrong. His life was very Hard after what he did. I celebrate this very good man..

I wish Neil were here to enjoy the 50 yr anniversary.

Imagine the feeling you would have, to sit somewhere late at night, looking up at the moon in the night sky, and remembering you've been there once

What an incredibly humble man.

I was 10 years old when he walked on the moon. I was glued to the TV for hours.

4:56 A man of bravery with class. 5:02 "But I wasn't!" still with a smile. What a cool man. 😆😍👌

till today I've never known how humble he was!

HE IS A GOOD ACTOR.

So humble. The right stuff. Rest in peace Niall.
