He has led a very private life since he left the space program, rarely making public appearences. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

He was, and still might be, here on the board of directors of the parent company of Space.com <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> As is/was Lou Dobbs and Sally Ride, as well as many other neat people. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Check out the biography "First Man" by James Hansen. It is a very good read.<br /><br />Mr. Armstrong is, among many activities, on the NASA Advisory Committee.<br /><br />He was very briefly in the news recently when someone processed his "One Small Step" transmission and "found" the missing "a" as in "That's one small step for *a* man...". He "found the technology interesting" and the gentleman's "argument convincing".

Every time I've heard that recording of that first phrase spoken when he stepped off the ladder, I always heard "a man", but it sounding like he was straining physically so it sounds like "aman". The moon astronauts had to be very fit in order to move in the suits. That was a great deal more difficult than it looks and they made it look almost easy. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

"Every time I've heard that recording of that first phrase spoken when he stepped off the ladder, I always heard "a man", but it sounding like he was straining physically so it sounds like "aman". "<br /><br />He said "man" - and created an instant classic. We wouldn't still be talking about it decades later if he said "a man".

I see that telfrow's link has indicated I was wrong. I went by what I thought I knew, not the facts, apparently.<br /><br />Ain't education wonderful? Thanx, telfrow. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters.

I'm curious, do you think Neil Armstrong converted to islam?<br /><br /><font color="yellow"> An urban myth widespread in Muslim countries is that when Armstrong and Aldrin were on the Moon, they heard a strange singing voice that they discovered was the adhan (Islamic call to prayer), and that this caused them to convert to Islam after their flight. In March 1983, the United States Department of State released a press statement for embassies and consulates in Muslim countries that attempted to dispel the idea. </font><img src="/images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /><br /><br /> Neil Armstrong <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font color="#993300"><span class="body"><font size="2" color="#3366ff"><div align="center">. </div><div align="center">Never roll in the mud with a pig.

really, I thought it was a voice with a Russian accent trying to get them to Earth in Siberia <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Can you blame him given how the press reacts today? However, I think he might be useful to NASA in a technical role. I remember how Cernan's book states that his marriage failed because he went on that last mission. He also had problems with poor thinking on the Air Force's part with that stupid backpack. I would want Cernan in planning to prevent problems like those. He would improve training and make it more efficient letting astronauts spend more time with their families.<br /><br />Perhaps Neil could perform a similar role. What should it be? <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>
