Armstrong

I found this on DVD from my public library.

This year 2019, being the 50th anniversary of the first man landing on the Moon, has brought forth lots of programming commemorating that event. This documentary is one of them, Armstrong's story from birth to death.

I have a special attachment to his life, we both came from small towns, both walked the campus, attended classes, and graduated from Purdue University. I came along a few years after he did. But the attachment is there.

This is a really good documentary, somewhat dry, but it covers his entire life with a good coverage of the Moon landing itself. Much of it was a repeat of what I had already seen in other programming but all interesting nonetheless.

There is a narration by Harrison Ford, most of it Armstrong's own words.
