   Fortunately for Neil Armstrong, and also "Buzz" Aldrin, that did   
   not happen.  However, Michael Collins was not worried, knowing he   
   had a ride back home...

   A lot of people never knew the real Neil Armstrong.  There are actually   
   two versions.  The younger Neil Armstrong, and the older Neil Armstrong.   
   The younger Neil Armstrong was a real ladies' man who loved to party.   
   The older Neil Armstrong was much more conservative and devoted to wife   
   and family.  I met both versions.  The younger version (of all three   
   astronauts) at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC.  The older version   
   at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, LA.
