hudson bay rules Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If I recall correctly, from an episode of Pawn Stars, it was his choice. He became a bit of a recluse after the event and that was why his signature was quite valuable. Edit: just googled it, he was more than a bit of a recluse.

thedestroyerofworlds Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 It took someone with a dream to see it, and another to live it. JFk and Neil Armstrong achieved that. Men ahead of their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdinaryBoy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 "Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

X-PatLostInEdm Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 A couple of decades back, I was watching a little half hour general aviation show one Sunday morning. The host had Neil as a kind of co-host for one segment where they visited a small flying club in some backwater airport. The owner of the flying club was an older middle-aged lady and when Neil introduced himself they shook hands and exchanged pleasantries, but she didn't recognize him as the Neil Armstrong. She then offers to give him a flying lesson. Neil smiles and accepts. In the air, she's a real Bossy Betty. Do this, don't do that, you're doing that wrong. He takes it all in good humour. After they land, she admits to the host of the program that Neil is pretty good but needs to improve on his trim control and something else I forget. Neil, the man who was able to take a giant aluminum beachball balanced on a blowtorch and land it it on the moon, replies "I'll try to work on that, m'am" A good life, lived well. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

Ghostsof1915 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 A true team player. He never liked the limelight because he felt the honor of being the first on the moon lessened the achievement of thousands of people who worked to get them there. A great pilot, test pilot, astronaut. A true legend. I'm deeply sad at his passing. He nearly died on Gemini 8 along with David Scott when a thruster was stuck open and they started to tumble wildly and they had to abort the mission. Apollo 11 vindicated him.
