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.

  • @onewolfseye Of course they did. And to suggest otherwise shows an ignorance of history, basic science, and insults the work of the hundreds of thousands of people who worked and gave their lives for exploration. Conspiracy theories are sometimes fun. But to question the integrity of these American heroes is simply sad.

  • I was a very young boy when he first walked on the moon. I was annoyed that the moon mission had replaced my Saturday morning cartoons. If only I had realised the importance of what they were doing, I would've taken more notice.

    That mission in 1969 was, I believe, the first step in humans leaving planet Earth and eventually populating the universe.

  • Thank you Mr Armstrong. Along with your fellow Astronauts

  • - choices in his life and was given incredible opportunities to which he risked his life to undertake, and complete with a brilliant and inspiring attitude. Perfect example of a TRUE hero.

  • People who use Neil Armstrong's good way against him really should be hit square in the mouth. I look up to these 3 men, especially Neil. He is not there for fame and glory, or to give the blood sucking media something to use for "good" or bad. Speaking infront of large audiences clearly scares him very much, which makes him more human than ANY politician, entertainer or any other media whore. He is just an extremely well educated and talented individual who worked hard and made the right choic

  • Fine men, simply fine men. The best. 

  • The man is a hero...he had the balls that no man could have ever had at that time...

  • do you remember seeing any stars Neil ?

  • @liamthespaceman unfortunately you can't because i will be the first man on mars... x)

  • @brusterj881 Hey i am 21 years old i was not even close to be born when man landed on the moon and i look up at these guys. There is still hope!

  • @iXelsior I totally totally agree!

  • To be in the same city as Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins would be a huge, huge honor for anyone, let alone being in the same room with them.
