Plot Summary: Based on the authorized biography "First Man: A Life Of Neil A. Armstrong" by James Hansen. NASA historian James R. Hansen got rare direct access to Armstrong, a test pilot-turned-astronaut who was so driven to reach the moon and play the role of American hero that he became known as "the Ice Commander." Armstrong had a family tragedy before Apollo that turned him into this driven astronaut, and he became such a perfect hero that while Buzz Aldrin was announced to be the first man on the moon, NASA reversed its decision because Neil was regarded as more heroic. Armstrong returned from the moon as one of the most famous men on Earth but didn't capitalize on it with a political career or endorsements. He reconnected with his family, shut out the world and became an intensely private man.

It was loooong.. But very well done I enjoyed it.

Watched this the other night. It was long but very well done. I'm somewhat of a space geek so I see pretty much anything about the space program. I just bought a DVD of The Right Stuff for $1.

I'm the same. Total space Geek. Wanted to see this in the theater but never got a chance. Watched it on HBO this past weekend and loved it. I was born in 73 so I wasn't alive when the moon landings happened. I sure hope to someday get to watch humans walk on the moon again and maybe even Mars.

Same here (except I was born in 71). I keep hoping we'll have a much more substantial space station. Not exactly what I pictured as a kid - reading science fiction books and watching TV shows and movies. Honestly, can't believe we haven't been to Mars yet (manned mission).

I was born in '65 and vaguely remember this. I remember having a lunch box commemorating the moon landing.
