In regard to the Apollo lunar landings ….
Armstrong was the consummate professional with nerves of steel flying any craft
Just listen to his voice ( with quality headphones on and digitally remastered audio ) during the decent when those pesky 1202 and 1201 program alarms rang through the cabin. Absolutely calm but pensive at the same time.
Switching over to manual operation of the handcontroller and flying that fragile Lem across the surface trying to find a suitable landing site, again nerves of steel
He was the right man for the first landing
Obviously those flying skills and absolute nerves of steel probably won’t be needed on the next moon landings as technology will have replaced some of the human fragility mastered by Armstrong in performing incredible tasks like the first lunar landing.
