      We choose to go to the moon, not because they're easy but because they're hard. What a heart-warming documentary. At this critical time in 1969, Armstrong set foot on the moon, and Ye Wenjie came to Hong'an Base. .

      Tribute to Armstrong

    In the Shadow of the Moon quotes

    • Alan Bean: I always thought of myself as one of the more fearful astronauts, really. And when I'd look out the window of the spacecraft, I would think, if that window blows out, I'm gonna die in about a second. There's death right out there about an inch away.

    • Charlie Duke: [discussing Neil Armstrong's "one small step" line] It was like Neil, but deeper than I thought that he would come up with. I wouldn't have had the self-control to do that. I'd have, to me, I'd have been jumping up and down, "Yahoo! Hey man, I'm here!" That's the kind of response that I think I would have had. But he was very, very controlled, and those words came out, and they were very appropriate and perfect.
