Neil Armstrong

I honestly had no idea how many people would be watching.

The views of the Earth from the moon, they're not just pictures, they're experiences.

We were very fortunate to have a lot of good people working on this project.

It's a fascinating place, the moon. It's so desolate, yet so beautiful.

I think the most important thing is that we went.

I don't think there's any single person who could have done it.

The space program is a national asset, and it should be supported.

We were just trying to do our job.

I think the most significant thing we did was to demonstrate that we could do it.

It was a very humbling experience.

I don't have any particular secret for success. I just tried to do my best.

The future of space exploration is not just about going to the moon or Mars, it's about expanding human knowledge.

We were not just going to the moon, we were going to the moon for all mankind.

It was a privilege to be a part of such a grand undertaking.

I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges.

Geologists have a saying - rocks remember.

I fully expected that, by the end of the century, we would have achieved substantially more than we actually did.

The exciting part for me, as a pilot, was the landing on the moon.

I was certainly aware that this was a culmination of the work of 300,000 to 400,000 people over a decade.

I guess we all like to be recognized not for one thing, but for the whole enchilada.
