Absolutely. Met him at a formal function in London a few years back. Genuine nice guy and modest. True gentleman.
Contrast Neil with “Buzz” Aldrin. Now THERE is an over-sized ego. Dealt with him a time or two and his ego is bruised from being the SECOND guy on the moon and feels slighted.
Heck, go to Buzz's website and see the arrogance (and money-making T-shirt selling activities). http://buzzaldrin.com/
The guy won't sign autographs without you paying him for the privilege. Yes, sports guys and other celebs do the same thing, but come on, an Astronaut?
I am not impressed with Buzz. . if you couldn't tell. . .just MHO.
