Even though he would deny it adamantly, Neil Armstrong is in my opinion one of the greatest people to have ever lived. He went through so much hardship in life, and yet he persevered to become one of the few people to ever gaze back at the Earth from the surface of another interstellar body.

@wblake1

The bracelet scene could have been merely symbolic. It perhaps didn't literally happen, but it doesn't diminish the film's value and accuracy. It was a way the movie portrays the main protagonist coming to terms with the great personal loss, and that's all.

@bobmorgan1762

My dad, which also graduated fro Purdue as Neil did, designed the tail section of that black plane (X-15) and his company built the camera that filmed Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon.

@subsonicflighttraining

Neil was a pilot’s pilot.  He was how we all strived to be as professionals: Competent, Disciplined, Trained, Objective, Analytical, Unflappable, Sound Under Pressure, and Calculated when doing our job or mission. Not many could do all those things at his level. His son is the spitting image of him. This is a true American icon, though he would give credit to 400,000 people who got him to the moon and back, “the tip of the spear” as he called it…

@joermundgand

Reclusive...You mean modest and laconic, a decent human being.

@Buzzbox3rd

Just like his dad, a great guy. Good on him, i enjoyed that interview.

@kylemiles448

Two great men of the 20th century are Armstrong and Gagarin.

@ylette

Would be great if what he left was a note saying "Welcome back. What took you so long?"

@commraiders5

Alexander the Great, Caesar, Colombus, Neil Armstrong, every kid will know his name for the rest of the existence of mankind.

@moonglow630

A close friend of Neil Armstrong’s was told by him what he left for his daughter, so yes, that story is true. He also named a crater after her nickname. “Muffie’s crater.

@fenderstratADHD

He’s a spitting image of Neil

@reaality3860

Neil Armstrong never came across as sad and depressed as was his character in "First Man".

@basedhumanofficial

this movie was unbelievable, just watched it. i have gained a MASSIVE appreciation for what these guys went through & accomplished because of this film. WOW. Neil Armstrong was a f***ing BOSS. highly recommended! 👍

@mikshin9825

Thanks to this movie I watched "The right stuff" and HBO's "From the Earth to the Moon (miniseries)".Both production depict the early days of American space exploration. So if you feel that perhaps this movie is a little too cold I highly recommend watching those.

@martin.B777

Wow, Mark looks like his dad’s twin ;)

@rekunta

The little kid in the Armstrongs never dies. Like father, like son…..they both present a childlike exuberance and presence.

@alexluthorkos5252

I love this movie.

@petesmith9472

Without any doubt Neil Armstrong was the perfect choice …his personality, his mental health, his humility.  Perfect.

@PaulBloomlittledevil

He does look a lot like his Dad. What a cool guy.

@toddk9431

Is it true that Neil left Purdue with a letter to be opened in 2020 possibly with the list of personal items he took onboard?
