NASA: Neil Armstrong Remarks from Congressional Gold Medal July 21, 2009

To honor the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission, Congress awarded the Apollo 11 crew and U.S. Sen. John Glenn the Congressional Gold Medal and gave them a proclamation. These are the remarks from Neil Armstrong. This event was not carried live on NASA TV. The voice you hear introducing Neil is House Science Chair U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon from Tennessee.

Нил Армстрог был немногим из тех, кто сблизил два враждующих лагеря - Капиталистический и Социалистический. Да упокоится же он с миром, подобно Гагарину - сыну ни какого-нибудь отдельного государства, а всего Человечества - одной большой семьи, которой неведомо разделение на расы и политические устройства.

I love Armstrong's dry sense of humor - talking about who could be used to first try manned flight, with flashbulbs going off in his face, he lists "photographers could take pictures, _and_ were_ expendable_" Now that's funny.

He recekved an award then spoke only of those that helped him get there. A true gentleman and a great speech.

Very interesting still cannot help wondering what Neil meant with his cryptic speech at Nasa 25th anniversary address speech of talking parrots and breakthroughs as yet undiscovered for those that can remove ONE of truth's protective layers? Dr Steven Greer has said Neil was afraid for his & familys safety to join testimony of 2001s Disclosure Project
