I'm not sure this is actually Neil Armstrong; so far as I know that video doesn't exist- I'm pretty sure this is one of the other 2 crashes; the voice over is AFAIK wrong.

I have been searching for this video for quite a while. I'm glad someone uploaded the actual footage.

And add that on a jet reaction engine there is a rev up and rev down time. If you want thrust you have to apply throttle before you wanted it and vice-versa. Not that easy. That's why, if pilots come in for a difficult landing they sometimes have the speed brakes deployed. You then can land with the engines at a higher RPM. It takes less time to retract the speed brakes and get rid of drag than to spool up the engines and increase thrust in case of an aborted landing.

The LLRVs and LLTVs had more than a hundred successful flights between them. This crash was far and away the exception rather than the rule.

And rockets are much easier to throttle than jet engines. The latter depend on the air that is blowing through them, while the former depend solely on the fuel and oxidizer, both of which can be completely controlled by the pilot.
