Trivia time!

What was Armstrong’s military rank when he commanded Apollo 11?

Read Lovell’s Book.

He had the same problem while flying a Phantom off Japan that he had on Apollo 13. Only difference is that he caused the problem in the Phantom.

I got to hear him speak a few years ago. Very entertaining guy.

No cheating here. If he had some kind of “Reserve Admiral” BS status, I’m unaware of it. I’d always read he touched down on the moon as a civilian.
