Neil Armstrong is still a "name". At a 30th anniversary event near Houston's NASA (at a nearby park) they held a small celebration mostly for NASA employees old and new.
It took 6 Texas Rangers surrounding him to get him through that crowd (he DID shake hands along the way).
He doesn't like to be a commodity and I don't think he signs many autographs today.
Some other moonwalkers are upset. There is a print that they committed to signing (some who signed it have already passed away) that he still hasn't signed (to my knowledge) even though he pre-approved the artwork.
Tort reform. I am thinking tort reform. The notion that Armstrong has a case makes my split ends ache.
If you set your trash on the curb, anyone who wants it can take it. If you let your locks fall on the floor, the same should apply. Buzz off, Neil.
