LOL! Navy humor. He was the first and the first is the most dangerous.
I think some of the most amazing stuff was:
1. Getting Apollo 13 back. Doing calculations and burns on the fly. Steering the LEM as doing the burns. I mean it is really a miracle they got back.
2. Armstrong saving a Gemini and the biggest Apollo mission because he was an incredible pilot who was cool as they come.
What aches my heart is that the "resident" of the White House and at least 49% of the American population see these events as insignificant, wasteful and crimes against the rest of humanity.
That reminds me of a scene in the movie "Apollo 13" where everyone breaks out slide rules to run calculations. It's hard to remember just how primitive the electronics back then were compared to today.
