I hope they didn’t butcher the real story too bad.
This will be an important film and an educational one to those that do not remember the man, the hero and the national drive to get to the moon before 1970 and before the Russians.
While all these nostalgic and exciting films about NASA, the Cold War and the American “can do” attitude educate us as to what was, what about right now? What about 5 years down the road? What about a MANNED US program?
As it stands right now, America does not have the capability to launch a man or woman into space.
We have NO manned space program so we rely on, of all peoples, the Russians to put any human in space.
This is a pathetic situation that Armstrong (and all the other Astronauts) realised and fought.
In 1969, as Armstrong and Aldrin pranced on the moon’s surface, who would of thought that 50 years later we would have absolutely no manned space program?
Then, we were sure that by 2018, we’d have bases on the moon AND Mars by now.
So, let’s get moving America!!! Let’s enjoy nostalgia but get back into the Pilot’s seat!!
I hope they didn’t butcher the real story too bad.

I hope they focus on his accomplishments, including the near death escapes and the landing on the Moon in which the computer overloaded and fuel ran short.
Outside of his work he was one of the most boring people ever.
