"First man", obviously. Kind of liked it, although not outstanding nor absolutely memorable. An honest-to-god biography.


The real thrill was to see Gemini 8 going astray, and telling my wife (I'm a space nerd and she is absolutely NOT - BUT we are BOTH die-hard fans of Christopher Nolan Interstellar)


"Look darling, this is exactly where Nolan got his Cooper docking moment".


I even mixed the two movies lines


Dave Scott "Armstrong, what are you doing"

Neil Armstrong "Un-docking"

Dave Scott "rotation rates, aaargh, they are 60+ per minute. It's not possible."

Neil Armstrong "No. It's necessary." (Hans Zimmer music starts).

Dave Scott "Armstrong, this is no time for caution"


My wife actually was a little annoyed because, as a space buff, I completely spoiled the movie :p


"ah, the X-15. Look, Armstrong will bounce off the atmosphere" (...Armstrong's X-15 bounces)


"ah, Gemini 8. This won't end well." (...Gemini 8 goes astray)


"Geez, the lunar trainer. He is gonna crash" (...LLTV crashes)


"The lunar landing. They landed 5 miles too long and with little fuel left"


"Yes, Armstrong finally divorced his wife. 25 years after the end of the movie."
