This is a bit off topic, but I thought other budding kerbalnaughts would appreciate this.

CPA Australia, CEO Alex Malley interviews Neil Armstrong:

That was really interesting, i am really looking forward to even higher resolution images being taken of the landing sites. Though it does always depress me a bit when i see old astronauts talking about their views on the space industry today.

I haven\'t washed my hand since I shook hands with the man three years ago.

So when is the sanitation department at your place coming?

Wrong thread. This needs to be in 'Off-Topic'

[Tiberion]

Indeed it does (and now its here )

That was an awesome video. But I could listen Neil Armstrong talk about stuff for a long time

[VincentMcConnell]

Honestly, one of the reasons Neil probably doesn\'t do many interviews is because the only thing people want to know about is Apollo 11. All the care about interviewing him on is walking on the moon. Neil Armstrong has a quote about the EVA, actually.

'Pilots have no special interest in walking. Pilots like to fly.' -Neil Armstrong.

I bet if someone asked for an interview about his X-15 days or Gemini 8, he might be more willing. Being asked the same questions about walking on the moon over and over again must annoy him a lot.

You can see how much he likes talking about his test pilot experiences and all the problem solving he did.

Compare with when he talks about Apollo 11.

I can tell that Neil Armstrong (not just by his quote) prefers flying to walking.
