“He was also the very definition of modesty.”

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.

I’m not defending the fellow but it could be that he’s found his autograph being sold on EBay.

In his defense, it says the proceeds from his tshirt sales go to his non-profit for kids.

Answer; Why? I already paid for you to go to the moon.
