Neil Armstrong's death yesterday has led to our being reminded of his constant refrain of the fact that while yes, he was the first guy on the moon, he was merely a bit player in a cast of thousands. While we do like our rock stars and of course there's something incredible about being the first human to set foot on another celestial body he's absolutely right, and I for one would like to see a huge anthology documentary featuring the flight directors of the Apollo program. all of whom
are rather incredibly still alive, as well as one on the original steely-eyed missile man,
John Aaron.
All narrated, of course, by
Liev Schreiber.
