Нил Армстронг скончался 25 августа в субботу.

Армстронг считал, что приписываемый ему образ бесстрашного астронавта, храбро встречающего смертельную опасность, сильно преувеличен. <br class="br">For heaven’s sake, I loathe danger. <br class="br">Источник: Neil Armstrong - Obituary, 2012-08-25, The Economist, Некролог, 2018-10-08, en https://www.economist.com/babbage/2012/08/25/neil-armstrong,

Интервью «The New Space Race» (август 2007) http://library.thinkquest.org/07aug/00861/armstrongiscool.htm <br class="br">The exciting part for me, as a pilot, was the landing on the moon. That was the time that we had achieved the national goal of putting Americans on the moon. The landing approach was, by far, the most difficult and challenging part of the flight. Walking on the lunar surface was very interesting, but it was something we looked on as reasonably safe and predictable. So the feeling of elation accompanied the landing rather than the walking.

Пресс-конференция после полёта на Луну (1969)
I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul ... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
