Armstrong Interview

This is pretty amazing: Armstrong, notoriously camera-shy and tight-lipped, did an hour-long interview about Apollo 11, sitting down with an Australian accountant (really) to relive his 1969 moon landing. He narrates a Google Moon view of the Eagle's descent, describing his harrowing landing, almost out of fuel. He talks about plenty of other tidbits, chortling at a question about moon-landing conspiracy theories.

Armstrong is almost as famous for his reluctance to talk about his experience as he is for making that “one small step.” His nervousness speaking publicly is well known, and when he does take the time to talk —about Apollo 11, the future of NASA or anything else —it’s usually a fairly muted, shaky performance, as you can see in this Congressional testimony.
