Neil Armstrong believed the lunar module was at risk of sinking into the moon due to the uncertainty about how the lunar surface would support the spacecraft's weight. As they descended, he was concerned about the potential for the soft, powdery regolith to not provide adequate support, leading to a possible landing failure. This apprehension was heightened by the limited information available from previous missions and the unique conditions of the lunar environment. Ultimately, his cautious approach ensured a safe landing for Apollo 11.
