Neil Armstrong was a naval aviator, test pilot, and aeronautical engineer before becoming an astronaut. After leaving NASA, he was a university professor, businessman, and served on various corporate and government boards. Armstrong was also involved in investigations related to space exploration and aviation safety.
Apollo 17 was the final mission of NASA's Apollo program. It was the only mission to include a geologist, Harrison Schmitt, among the crew. The mission successfully completed three moonwalks, collected a record amount of lunar samples, and returned safely to Earth.
Neil Armstrong's spacecraft was called Apollo 11. He was the commander of the mission that successfully landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Apollo 1 and its crew were destroyed in a fire while still on the pad weeks before the mission was scheduled to launch. While there were changes in NASA brought about by this tragedy, there were technically no mission accomplishments as the mission never took place.
I assume you're referring to the lunar module "Eagle"
Neil Armstrong's partner on the Apollo 11 mission to the moon was Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin. Aldrin became the second man to set foot on the moon after Armstrong.

It was the second-to-last manned mission in the Apollo program and helped further our understanding of the Moon's geology and surface.
Actually, the rocket that carried Neil Armstrong to the moon was the Saturn V rocket, part of NASA's Apollo program. The Apollo program aimed to land astronauts on the moon and bring them safely back to Earth. The Apollo 11 mission, commanded by Neil Armstrong, achieved this historic feat on July 20, 1969.
according to the film yes, it was a top secret mission, thus no outside leaks or Cronkite commentary. It was said Walter Cronkite knew more about manned space travel than anybody outside Nasa! he"s not in the film.
There has not just been an Apollo mission. The last Apollo mission to the moon was Apollo 17 in 1972
