The tiny white cone at upper right, beneath the long thin probe (the escape tower) is the roomy three-man command module. This still image from film shot at the time illustrates the gargantuan size of the Saturn V/Apollo moon rocket. Armstrong was a private individual and it seems likely to me that this film reveals his character in hitherto unparalleled definition. As he says in the film (in which he is played by Canadian actor Ryan Gosling) when asked about it during his selection interview for the Gemini (two-man spacecraft) program, “I think it would be unreasonable to assume that it wouldn’t have some effect.”Īrmstrong’s two sons were consulted during the making of the film, so it seems to me likely to be close to the truth, although perhaps it includes some exaggeration in places for dramatic effect. ![]() (If you are easily upset to a large extent, you might want to give this film a miss.)
