An Audience with Neil Armstrong (2011 interview)

In this interview, the first man to walk on the moon gives a personal commentary on Apollo 11’s historic lunar landing along with his thoughts on leadership and taking risks to innovate for the future.
Neil Armstrong is a household name, yet, in contrast to his crew-mate Buzz Aldrin, he has studiously stayed out of the spotlight in the decades since he walked on the Moon. He frequently passed on interview and advertising requests, all the while beating back unwelcome advances on his legacy.
So it was a coup of sorts for Certified Practicing Accountants organization of Australia to score an extended interview with Armstrong, a connection that seems about as natural as a two-headed kangaroo. (CEO Alex Malley had developed the relationship, sharing his concerns about long-term strategic planning both in business and politics with Armstrong. The interview was a part of CPA Australia’s 125th anniversary celebration.)
Armstrong shows flashes of the rationality and equanimity that made him an ideal astronaut candidate in the first place. He confesses that he gave Apollo 11 a 90% chance of returning home safely, but just a 50% chance of landing on the Moon successfully. He expresses a sense of fate about his dangerous work as a test pilot and astronaut, refusing to worry about future tasks because he figured something would go wrong first and he’d be otherwise engaged firing the ejection seat or scrambling to repair a valve. Of his time on the Moon’s surface: “we weren’t there to meditate, we were there to get things done.”

[@maxsmith695]

@@roquefortfiles - He agreed to an interview with a guy who knew nothing about flying, nothing about being a pilot, nothing about aviation or risk / reward decision making in aviation. Neal was very smart. Probably a 140-150 IQ. That is why he picked this guy to give the interview to. Every pilot in the world would have jumped at the chance to interview Neal. Neal did not want that. He had a message to send to the world, and needed a non aviation guy as the conduit. I consider this interview a confession, based on what he said. Dr. Werhner von Braun was more blatant. Neal was far more subtle. He camouflaged it well to the non pilot world. He died soon after this.

I wrote that I was very interested in the Apollo program and that I had articles from Soviet newspapers of that time about all the flights of the Apollo ships and Apollo 11 in particular. I was always struck by the disbelief of some people in flights to the Moon and especially residents of the United States. A wonderful interview, unfortunately one of the last.

What a great interview!!. I was born in April 1957, and was allowed to stay up all night here in the uk(Birmingham), to watch the moon landing live on my parents tv. Very exciting, we could hardly believe what we were seeing, hoping that all would be well and thrilled when all three astronauts made it safely home to earth, still to this day an emotionally charged memory. The thing that this film finally made clear to me was, as I have always wondered how Neil managed to fly the eagle down to the surface, hopping over that large crater, (when the picture we had was so fuzzy from the camera they had looking out the window), the view he had was so much better as the film shows. Even so to make it down with so little fuel and time to spare, showed that Neil and Buzz Aldrin were indeed, both made of the 'right stuff !!.

He was such a humble and honest man who could keep his life fairly unencumbered. He was and is one of the people I looked up to then and still do today. I miss having this man still alive he had so much knowledge to give back to us, hopefully he had a chance in those years since to give that knowledge back.

Here are the EXACT words of NASA Engineer Kelly Smith, talking about the manned spacecraft Orion, that is set to launch in the next few years . " As we get further away from earth, ( traveling at 17,000 mph), we will pass through the Van Allen Belts, an area of dangerous radiation, radiation like this can harm the guidance systems , onboard computers, or other electronics on Orion. Naturally, we have to pass through this dangerous zone twice, once up and once back. But Orion has protection, shielding will be put to the test, as the vehicle cuts through the waves of radiation, sensors aboard will record radiation levels for scientists to study. We must solve these CHALLENGES , BEFORE we send people through this region of space. " There is your proof the Apollo moon landing missions are how do you say - FAKE NEWS.

They take a few things, blow them out of proportion, and it allows them to pretend the whole thing never happened. Rather than looking at the mountains of evidence that exist, they go out of their way to make these wacko assertions. Could it remotely be that they are testing a new spacecraft, with new equipment, and new mission parameters? It’s a different NASA now, they are not allowed for political and societal reasons to be as bold as they were when this was first done in the late 60s, so there’s a lot more involved now with ramping up to these missions.

We received the first signals from Apollo 11 as we were the Hemisphere that was facing the Moon at the time. North America had no direct radio communication as the Moon was not visible in their Hemisphere. The Radio Technicians relayed the signals back to Mission Control in Houston Texas.

One of the most interesting interviews I've ever seen. How well crafted by the interviewer and how incredible man. Congratulations. Thank you.

A wonderful interview from a wonderful human being. I felt that the interviewer was very keen and respectfully cautious with his questions to Mr Armstrong. The ending was a real treat. Such a gracious smile of appreciation from Neil. You could tell that he had a pleasant time. I tip my cap to the interview - and Godspeed Neil Armstrong.

You would never know that this was his umpteenth interview about his feat. Maybe it was because so much time had past & he was close to the end of life that he was so open & able to reflect on what he had lived through. Plus the skill of the interviewer & the film clips made this the most fascinating & educational take on what was accomplished. Our finest hour thanks to people like Mr Armstrong. So glad I could witness it all happen during my lifetime.

@Roger Clemons So Google moon mapping is fake also? how about the hubble pics of the equipment and tracks in 2012?? how sad you believe such rubbish. over 800,000 people worked on that decade of space flights and none of them came out and said it was fake. The fake stories came after everyone with nothing to do and all day to do it, got on the internet.

I was 25 when this event occurred and I was following every second of it. If I recall correctly, it was very early in the morning when they landed on the moon. I was sitting on the edge of my sofa, tense with excitement, knowing there was no guarantee they would survive the landing. I listened for what seemed like hours as they would communicate their progress. Finally, I heard Buzz Aldrin in an incredibly calm voice say the height they were from the surface and then, he said "picking up some dust". And then silence for what I thought was 5 minutes before Neil Armstrong finally said, "the Eagle has landed". I lost it, totally, I cried tears of joy for so long that to this day watching this video brings back the excitement, the fear, the jubilation and the tears. Great to listen to Armstrong relive this adventure of a lifetime.

Thanks for the upload. It was awsome. What an exceptional man. Sharing his feelings and expertise in such a humble and unassuming manner. Classy through and through. The ultimate role model. Thank you and RIP Mr Armstrong

Wonderful interview. Mr. Armstrong is the epitome of what it meant to be "American" and what leadership and courage look like. God's speed Neil. God's speed.
