Very cool...

I've seen a lot of Buzz and the other astronauts in interviews this weekend but not Neal...

I wonder if he will come out for the 40th?

Supposedly Armstrong will appear Monday evening at Smithsonian I think, but not any of the other celebrations. He has grown more and more publicity shy lately.

Neil has assiduoualy avoided fame sine he came home from the moon. don’t know whether he did us a favor or not. He did, after all, make the most historic footrprint in history. He wasn’t ordered to do it. I think he owes us more than he’s given us.

Me too! I never had the funds to go medium format, and stuck with my Canon A-1.

Reminds me of the Onion story about walking on the moon that had me in tears.

There have been rumors it wasn’t Neil Armstrong who returned from the moon- at least, not the same Neil Armstrong who left the Earth several days earlier.

He's very private and doesn't like publicity. I remember a commercial he did looooong ago. I found it here.

I’d doubt it very much.

Perfect vision was one of the prerequisites needed to be met to be a pilot, let alone an astronaut.

No...he saw the alien ships ringing the crater ridges on the dark side of the moon.

It’s either that, or he’s got a guilty conscience about something.

I love conspiracy theories, don’t you??

" I think he owes us more than he’s given us."

I don't know that he necessarily owes us, but it would have been good to hear from him from time to time.

I think the last time I remember seeing him was a photo essay in Life back in the mid 70's...good grief...

Theory? I don't think so. Here's a photo of Neil and his wife shortly after his return from the moon.

Maybe that’s why he shuns publicity...he;s too embarrassed after pitching those crappy Chrysler vehicles.

He was on CBS’s 60 Minutes within the last couple of years.
