He couldhave used his fame to promote the space program and encourage young people to join in he venture. He didn’t. I admire him as much as anyone for his bravery. He could have done more.
In addition, as commander, he choseh himself to be the first man on the moon. What did he think would happen?

I think some of the astronauts had trouble with celebrity. They were military guys who didn't start out craving fame and fortune ---unlike actors.
Buzz Aldrin was just on Fox News talking about how he had trouble adjusting...divorced and had a bout with alcoholism after the moon landing.
