Neil Armstrong

In the documentary-movie Shadows of the Moon Buzz Aldrin stated that, when he paused coming down the LM ladder he was actually urinating. So according to Buzz, Neil was the first to walk on the moon, but Buzz was the first to pee.

Neil Armstrong had his surgery recently. It was a shame because he passed away shortly after the surgery. He was an American hero and a true patriot.

he has 5 brothers and sisters, excluding himself.

The fuel was critically low in the Lunar Module, but there was enough to leave. When the time came, the astronauts detached the top of the module from the bottom, and the bottom served as a launch pad.

On the Apollo 11 mission, Collins and Aldrin, on the Eagle flight to the Lunar surface, only Aldrin travelled with him.

Neil Armstrong was born in 1930 so he was eligible to be a Boy Scout from 1941 to 1948 (ages 11 to 18).

He earned the rank of Eagle Scout and as an adult was awarded the Silver Buffalo.

Neil Armstrong never served on a space shuttle mission. He was part of the Apollo Program

This referred to a 'Mr Gorsky'. On the moon Armstrong was supposed to say 'This one's for you, Mr Gorsky', or 'Good Luck Mr Gorsky', depending upon the source. Supposedly when questioned Armstrong refused to say why he said this until eventually he admitted that it came from when he and his brother played ball in their back yard when they were kids. One day the ball went into a neighboor's yard - a neighbour who didn't like the tearaway Armstrong boys much. After climbing on the extension roof to get his ball Armstrong overheard them arguing in the bedroom: "Oral sex? oral sex? I'll give you oral sex when one of those boys next door walks on the moon..." hence Heil Armstron's quote. However, the whole story is untrue, and Armstrong never said it, always denying it when questioned. Moreover, the accurate transcripts of the Apollo Missions (available from the NASA site) show that nowhere did Armstrong ever say such a thing either during the flight, or whilst on the moon. A pity really as it makes a good after-dinner story.

The flag on the Moon is a normal everyday flag.

The reasons (not getting into a discussion of their validity) * No stars in any of the pictures * The flag appears to be flowing in a wind * Multiple Light Sources casting multiple shadows * Apparent inconsistencies with low gravity movement * Images in the reflection of the helmet that seem inconsistent * Inconsistent figures for the curvature of the horizon on the moon * Inconsistent size of Earth's image from the moon

Astronauts experience 3g's which is no problem during takeoff, however during landing the astronauts experience 15 minutes of 3 g forces with weakened cardiovascular systems to to prolonged exposure to microgravity. Their suits however, prevent blackouts.

As we all know, it was Buzz Aldrin, not Niel Armstrong, who fought the moon men, as detailed in David X. Cohen's seminal work, "Cold Warriors". Now, the primitive, yet efficient, weaponry sported by this fantastic duo was, in fact, an advanced set of harpoons, expecting to find only whales. He was soon to be mistaken.

It usually depends on how long the trip will be when he/she goes to the moon, but the average astronaut will get paid 1 million to 4 million when he/she makes a trip to the moon.

I was told many years ago by a former Westminster master, also gay, that Hepburne Scott had been killed in his room by a rent boy. As far as I know, as one of his former charges, Hepburne Scott never preyed upon the pupils at Westminster. He was a nice man, not at all elitist or snobbish given his aristocratic background. But he did used to wear his OE tie (a different colour but remarkably similar to the OW one)!

He was old school which meant that he was very much in the closet, as were many other masters of that bygone era.

There is no single defining moment in Armstrong's long flight career that made him choose to become an Astronaut. He was uniquely suited for the job though, having been a Naval Aviator in the Korean War, and flying as a Test Pilot for the National Advisory Council on Aeronautics (NACA), the forerunner of NASA. Several of his missions were in the X-15 rocket plane, which explored the upper reaches of the atmosphere.

He was selected for the Air Force's Man In Space Soonest program (MISS), which was the attempt to beat the Soviet Union into space. The program eventually evolved into Project Mercury, the first U.S. Manned Flight missions.

Armstrong was contacted by Mercury Astronaut Deke Slayton in 1962, asking him if he wanted to be considered for the Gemini Missions, to which he immediately replied yes. The Gemini Mission crews were the only ones who could fly the Apollo missions, and it was by chance that Armstrong drew the straw for Apollo XI's historic lunar landing on July 20, 1969.

because he playes jazz music... (:

He went to 2 different colleges. 1: University of Southern California. 2: Purdue University.

1. Neil Armstrong retired from NASA the year after Apollo 11. In 1971, he became a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He did that until 1979. From 1982 until 1992, he was the chairman of a company that made computer software for flight scheduling.

he didnt return. he died and flowed out to space

Neil Armstrong is married twice, one wifes name was Janet, the other is Carrol.

Neil Armstrong did not die yet... He is 80 years old.

( January 2011 )

The date Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, was July 20th 1969.

Bacteria first walked on the earth. Can bacteria be said to truly walk? My vote goes to the anthropods - centipedes, milipedes, and pill bugs you are incorrect is was algae,algae was the first thing, it breathes in carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen so it then made bactiria. :-]

A pilot is a crew member who flies the airplane. A pilot must be licensed by the FAA to fly an airplane. He has to be licensed to fly a specific type airplane. An aeronautical engineer is a person who helps design an airplane. That is a term for a college degree. They are also referred to as aerospace engineer. In the US, the engineer does not have to be licensed. He only has to meet the criteria of the company who designs the airplane. A mechanic is a person who is licensed to repair an airplane or build an airplane. I mention this because in Europe, the term "engineer" can sometimes refer to a mechanic. The FAA does license some engineers to be the industry representative for the FAA and to approve design changes to meet the Federal Regulations. These are called Designated Engineering Representatives.
