Neil Armstrong Talks About The First Moon Walk

Pippen · Dec 11, 2010

Neil Armstrong, who isn't one for the limelight, surprisingly offered up some answers to some NPR commentary. An article about it first, and then the actual email response:

Thanks for posting that, Pippen.

I'm stunned that the blogger could equate landing for the first time on an alien body, walking around in a vacuum (literally seconds from death) with strolling around a playing field.

Frankly I'm amazed that the first mission wasn't:
1) step off the lander leg
2) grab a sample
3) get off the Moon as fast as possible

Thanks for pointing out that link, Pippen.
As infrequently as Neil makes any sort of public statement, most here would definitely want to know.
Like in those old E.F. Hutton ads, "When Neil Armstrong talks, people listen !"
