Armstrong Recalls History-Making Career

The first man on the moon discusses his career as a test pilot and NASA astronaut during his participation in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's annual John Glenn Lecture Series on July 19, 2009,

One of the most famous people on the planet talking about "the crew of Apollo 11"...never using the word "I". Amazingly humble man!

Time to wake up. It's not humility, it's shame. The "science" of Apollo is a joke. NASA is a total scam owned and operated by the deep state.

I totally agree with butch tropic and wcottee.. I adore Neil Armstrong esp not just for his unbelievable skill and bravery and dedication, but also for the way he carries himself and never uses the word I, it's always we.. I think that's so humble of him and in my opinion is what a lot of people in this country are lacking. People can really learn and see what a true gentleman is

This year will be the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission. The lunar landing was a proud moment for humanity and united the world. It was accomplished with the concerted effort of over 400,000 people working toward a common and ambitious goal. I hope we will get to experience that solidarity again. Chris Kraft, George Low, Gene Kranz, Michael Collins, Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and all of the Mercury and Gemini astronauts will always be heroes.

Great and inspiring Apollo 11. Nevertheless i must said that contrarily to what Mr. Glenn claims "never someone did something similar for humankind", Elcano's first world navigation at 1523 had a huge impact worldwide and, apossed to Apolo program, was compossed of an "international team". Mainly Spanish, yes, but also Portuguesse, Greeks, Italians or Germans contributed to the mission.

Werner did not design Saturn V. By the time Sat V was developed Werner was nothing more than an administrator. Werner did design/engineering work though on the Vanguard missile. He also did some early work on Jupiter series. I find it somewhat insulting to the Russian engineers to suggest Werner was the greatest rocket scientist considering the Russian's achievements. Are you aware of Werner's notion of how to reach the moon and the HUGE rocket he wanted to design ?

[@igorflexus9493]

Saturn V was based on Werners design. He had a lot to do with the design of the Saturn V.

[@YDDES]

No, Von Braun didn't want to design any HUGE rocket. He just said, that it was a COMMON BELIEF that a Moon rocket waold be one stage only and that it therefore had to be of that size. He knew, since many years, that it had to be a multi stage rocket. That's why he administrated the building of the Saturn V.

By the time the Saturn V was developed Wernher was not much more than an ADMINISTRATOR and hardly worked in engineering. This is not to say he wasn't a brilliant engineer but he was arguably a better administrator and the people that worked with him were loyal and loved him. He was a very charming charismatic man. Wernher was to the Apollo program what Oppenheimer was to the Manhattan Project. A brilliant ADMINISTRATOR, organizer and leader first and foremost.
