I recently saw the excellent new film Armstrong. Here’s a couple of quotes from it:
Post Apollo 11 Press Conference
Reporter: “How do you propose to restore some normalcy to your lives in the years ahead.”
Armstrong: “It kind of depends on you [the reporters]”
Bob Hope Christmas Special (probably in Vietnam)
Two female soldiers: “We’d like to know when you’re going to take the first woman to the Moon.”
Armstrong: “We welcome you with open arms.”
White House 25th anniversary of Apollo 11 in 1994
Armstrong: “Wilbur Wright once noted that the only bird that could talk was the parrot, and he didn’t fly very well. So I’ll be brief.”
In 1970, he visited the Soviet Union (this is not in the movie). He visited the grave of the first man in space, Yuri Gargarin. The words he wrote in the guest book moved the Soviets.
Published in Group Writing“He led us all into space.”
