       | Very interesting, another place to visit in the world. This was
       | in 1972.

       | In 1969, he, Aldrin, and Collins were received in the Buckingham
       | Palace [1]. There is are hilarious scenes about this in The Crown
       | series S03E07 [2]. Don't know how real was it [3].

       | >Armstrong, universally known for his humility is remembered as
       | having no interest on his visit of boasting of his achievements.
       | Instead he was absorbed in finding out more of his Armstrong
       | heritage and making a connection with the area.

       | Every thing I've read about Neil Armstrong makes it very evident
       | why Nasa chose him to be the first man to walk on the moon. He's
       | the real deal.

         | I recently learned that the Apollo 11 mission patch is the only
         | crewed mission patch without the astronauts' names. Apparently,
         | this was Armstrong's call so as not to take away from everyone
         | else's contribution to the accomplishment.
