TV Heads Up

On BBC America RIGHT NOW (and repeats at 11pm) - Being Neil Armstrong.
Since walking on the moon four decades ago, Neil Armstrong has become increasingly reclusive. Best-selling author Andrew Smith, "Moondust: In Search of the Men Who Fell to Earth," sets out to learn about Armstrong and why he has intentionally faded from the spotlight. Join Smith as he travels across the country talking to the people who know Armstrong best, from his childhood friends to fellow astronauts and technicians who helped get him off Earth and into the history books. 

Thank god someone's finally doing a doc on this guy. Here's the first person to ever set foot on the moon, and no matter how many books I've read on the subject, there is nobody I or anyone else seems to know less about than Neil Armstrong. Baffling.

And why's it gotta be a Brit fucking doing this?
