Armstrong was duped into talking about all of “mankind” .AMERICA landed on the Moon. NOT MANKIND!!. IT IS OUR MOON. WE paid for it — they didn’t. How much did some afghan pay for our conquest of the moon. RIP Neil.
Well speaking as a British subject, I’d like to claim a little piece of him too! He was of British ancestry after all. True enough, it was the USA that went to the moon - but look at the bigger picture here, this was one of mankind’s most amazing and enduring achievements. Awe inspiring.
RIP, Neil. You really were one of the last of the true American heroes. Humble and brilliant. Godspeed.
