Because they are hard.

1. I know what the ending is, but I still feel nervous during the viewing process. 2. The soundtrack is top-notch. 3. The visual effect is very intuitive, and there is a feeling of being in it. 4. I admire Mrs. Armstrong's strength and independence. When her husband planned to leave without saying goodbye before the moon landing, she expressed a firm attitude and must let the children know, and this must be done by you. 5. If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man in his quest for knowledge and progress is determined and cannot be deterred. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.—John F. Kennedy

First Man quotes

  • Janet Armstrong: Pat doesn't have a husband. Those kids, they don't have a father anymore. Do you understand what that means? What are the chances that's going to be Ricky and Mark? And I can't tell them that their dad spent the last few minutes packing his briefcase! You're gonna sit them down. Both of them. And you're going to prepare them for the fact that you might not ever come home. You're doing that. You. Not me. I'm done.

  • Deke Slayton: Jan, you have to trust us. We've got this under control.

    Janet Armstrong: No, you don't. All these protocols and procedures to make it seem like you have it under control. But you're a bunch of boys making models out of balsa wood! You don't have anything under control!
