Armstrong

The writers, Harrison Ford, and the entire production crew of this documentary.did an outstanding job illuminating the rock-solid character of Neil Armstrong.

I had wanted to be an astronaut in 1965, but I could not get my Congressman's recommendation for the Air Force Academy program. I was bitterly disappointed and went into the field of education, instead. I entered the Army in 1967 and learned of the moon landing second-hand while based in Okinawa. I was so proud of Neil Armstrong, even though I was a bit jealous of him. What an enormous achievement. What a wonderful family. And what an ultimate professional he was after the return from that remarkable achievement. What a great wife he had. He was a very lucky man, indeed. His was as close to a perfect life as one could hope for, and this film delivers the goods in that area.
