Neil Armstrong says Barack Obama is 'poorly advised' on space

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has said that President Barack Obama is "poorly advised" on space matters, renewing criticism of a plan to abandon a project to return US astronauts to the moon.

“Buzz Aldrin says we should go to Phobos.”

Sheesh.

Yeah, it’s ancient history so what does that make me? I watched his walk live...

[Squawk 8888]

I pretty much agree with your assessment. We are capable of going back to the Moon and on to Mars, but there are no property rights in space. That means nobody in the private sector will ever make a business case for space travel, and government-funded spaceflight will be subject to the political flavour of the week.

Or the Chinese or the Indians. I’m rooting for India.

I remember exactly where I was on that date. I was listening to the landing on AFRTS in Naples, Italy in my car. I pulled off to the side of the road to listen to the first words from Armstrong.

More than half of Americans alive today were not even born when Armstrong landed on the moon.

Especially his comments on what he really saw when he was on the moon... as well as his remarks to students during a conference.
