Frases de Neil Armstrong

Neil Alden Armstrong foi um astronauta dos Estados Unidos, piloto de testes e aviador naval que escreveu seu nome na história do século XX e da Humanidade ao ser o primeiro homem a pisar na Lua, como comandante da missão Apollo 11, em 20 de julho de 1969.

Antes de se tornar astronauta, Armstrong serviu na Marinha dos Estados Unidos combatendo na Guerra da Coreia como piloto de caça. Após a guerra, graduou-se como piloto de testes e serviu na Estação de Voo do Comitê Consultivo Nacional para a Aeronáutica de alta velocidade, onde acumulou mais de 900 voos em uma variedade de aeronaves.

Entrou para a NASA em 1962, integrando o segundo grupo de astronautas da agência espacial, indo ao espaço pela primeira vez em 1965, como comandante da missão Gemini VIII, três anos antes do voo que o colocaria na História. Condecorado com a Medalha Presidencial da Liberdade, a maior condecoração civil do país, e a Medalha de Honra Espacial do Congresso, manteve uma vida discreta e longe dos olhos da opinião pública até sua morte, aos 82 anos. Dele, o presidente dos Estados Unidos Barack Obama disse ser " um dos maiores heróis americanos, não apenas de sua época, mas de todos os tempos".

Neil Armstrong: Frases em inglês

Neil Armstrong citar: “I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges.”

“I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges.”

Apollo mission press conference (1969); ABC World News http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/neil-armstrong-man-moon-dead/story?id=12325140&page=2#.UE0Vm67hdjw; also quoted in Of a Fire on the Moon (1970) by Norman Mailer, <!-- p. 46-47 --> and in First Man: The Life of Ronnie Petch the bender (2005) by James R. Hansen<!-- p. 399 -->
Contexto: I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul … we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.

“That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”

Words said when Armstrong first stepped onto the Moon (20 July 1969) One Small Step, transcript of Apollo 11 Moon landing https://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11.step.html. In the actual sound recordings he apparently fails to say "a" before "man" and says: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." This was generally considered by many to simply be an error of omission on his part. Armstrong long insisted he did say "a man" but that it was inaudible. Prior to new evidence supporting his claim, he stated a preference for the "a" to appear in parentheses when the quote is written. The debate continues on the matter, as "Armstrong's 'poetic' slip on Moon" at BBC News (3 June 2009) http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8081817.stm reports that more recent analysis by linguist John Olsson and author Chris Riley with higher quality recordings indicates that he did not say "a".
Variante: That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

“I believe that every human has a finite number of heartbeats. I don't intend to waste any of mine running around doing exercises.”

First On The Moon : A Voyage with Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, Edwin E Aldrin, Jr. (1970) edited by Gene Farmer and Dora Jane Hamblin, p. 113, states of this: "Like many a quote which gets printed once and therefore enshrined in the libraries of all newspapers and magazines, this particular one was erroneous. Neil recalled having heard the quote, and he even recalled having repeated it once. He did not subscribe to its thesis, however, and he only quoted it so that he could disagree with it."

“Pilots take no special joy in walking: pilots like flying.”

On his famous moonwalk, as quoted in In the Shadow of the Moon : A Challenging Journey to Tranquility, 1965-1969 (2007) by Francis French and Colin Burgess
Contexto: Pilots take no special joy in walking: pilots like flying. Pilots generally take pride in a good landing, not in getting out of the vehicle.

“A century hence, 2000 may be viewed as quite a primitive period in human history. It’s something to hope for.”

"The Engineered Century" http://www.nae.edu/Publications/Bridge/TheVertiginousMarchofTechnology/TheEngineeredCentury.aspx remarks delivered during National Engineers Week on behalf of the National Academy of Engineering at the National Press Club (22 February 2000)
Contexto: A century hence, 2000 may be viewed as quite a primitive period in human history. It’s something to hope for. … I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer — born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in the steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace, and propelled by compressible flow. As an engineer, I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession.

“The exciting part for me, as a pilot, was the landing on the moon.”

Interview at The New Space Race (August 2007) http://library.thinkquest.org/07aug/00861/armstrongiscool.htm
Contexto: The exciting part for me, as a pilot, was the landing on the moon. That was the time that we had achieved the national goal of putting Americans on the moon. The landing approach was, by far, the most difficult and challenging part of the flight. Walking on the lunar surface was very interesting, but it was something we looked on as reasonably safe and predictable. So the feeling of elation accompanied the landing rather than the walking.
