You lived and died with a quiet, modest, self-effacing nobility, Mr Neil Armstrong, ever eschewing the publicity-hungry, rapacious media. Apparently even intending to have said: "One small step for a man."
And memorably, when asked by an interviewer, during a rare interview given just months before his death, his view of the moon conspiracy theory, responded, again, in a paraphrase 'to the best of my recollection':
"What chance would there (have) be(en) of keeping 800,000 NASA scientists silent for over 4 decades?"
