Neil Armstrong was an unusually private person, for an Astronaut. Maybe he was overwhelmed with the unstoppable flood of attention after the Space Mission was over.
That’s understandable. Many scientists or engineer types are introverts when left to their own devices.
Many of these professionals prefer dealing with computers or fuel systems instead of unpredictable people, who may blurt out any sort of question.
I’ve always felt that he knew something of great significance about that mission that he was under orders to never EVER reveal to anyone, perhaps not even to his wife.
Whatever the ‘Forbidden Knowledge’ was, he apparently took it to his grave.

All Apollo astronauts underwent a debriefing after they returned. All of them afterward could tell you arr the details of their particular mission. None of them could tell you how it felt ...
Some because violently ill when asked, others just walked away in silence.
Another interesting tidbit is that those gold visors the Apollo guys wore were specifically designed to permit the blue part of the spectrum to be highly visible ...
Interesting comments. How did you come about this impression? The significance relates to the timing of this movie, and its message that Armstrong’s achievement “transcended countries and borders.”
A man speaking for the first time from a heavenly body. That's one way to get the attention of the entire planet. Explains whose script that really was. It should make more sense that way.
For starters, the mission dates corresponded to The Nine Days.
