I always respected Neil Armstrong highly. He was probably the coolest under pressure of anyone I ever had the privilege of flying with. I never saw him flustered.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't doubt for a second that Neil Armstrong's spirit is still with us: that unique blend of optimism, humility and the utter confidence that when the world needs someone to do the really big stuff, you need an American.
Everyone should take their hats off to Neil Armstrong. He is a humble guy who doesn't wave his own flag.
Something I'll always remember - when I was a kid, I shook hands with Orville Wright. Forty years later, I shook hands with Neil Armstrong. The guy that invented the airplane and the guy that walked on the moon. In a lifetime, that's kinda wild when you think about it.
Neil Armstrong, when he was out there landing on the moon, I was there first.
I didn't even respect singers until I heard Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong.
I remember growing up thinking that astronauts and their job was the coolest thing you could possibly do... But I absolutely couldn't identify with the people who were astronauts. I thought they were movie stars.
I've always loved airplanes and flight. The space program was really important to me as a kid. I still have a photo of Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon in my living room.
My husband was a pilot. He flew Elvis when Elvis first started making appearances around the country.
I was a fan of Lance Armstrong, and I remember watching him win the Worlds in '93 in Oslo.
Lance Armstrong is the guy that I would put up there as one of my heroes. He's done something that no one else has done and when you put into it what he overcame, it's absolutely unbelievable.
