Neil Armstrong

Pilots take no special joy in walking. Pilots like flying.

Neil Armstrong

Research is creating new knowledge.

Neil Armstrong

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.

Neil Armstrong

The one thing I regret was that my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.

Neil Armstrong

The regret on our side is, they used to say years ago, we are reading about you in science class. Now they say, we are reading about you in history class.

Neil Armstrong

Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites you.

Neil Armstrong

Yeah, I wasn’t chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn’t planned by anyone.

Neil Armstrong

You’ve got to expect things are going to go wrong. And we always need to prepare ourselves for handling the unexpected.
