I thought the attractions of being an astronaut were actually, not so much the Moon, but flying in a completely new medium.
Neil ArmstrongIt's a great thing for a man to walk on the moon. But it's a greater thing for God to walk on the earth.
Neil ArmstrongI like the aspect of technology. For me to spin the way I do, I would have to carry five crates of records with me everywhere I go, which in this day and age would be like two hundred extra dollars in baggage fees. All I need now is a hard drive and a computer and I can rock anywhere in the world.
Neil ArmstrongWe would like to give special thanks to all those Americans who built the spacecraft; who did the construction, design, the tests, and put their hearts and all their abilities into those craft. To those people tonight, we give a special thank you, and to all the other people that are listening and watching tonight, God bless you. Good night from Apollo 11.
