I seen a tweet to Chris Riley asking if it will be released on DVD and in reply he tweeted. Has anyone heard if there are any plans for a DVD or Blu Ray release for this documentary?Д¬hances for a DVD are slim (keep checking the BBC webshop). This was one of the best biographical programmes I have seen.

The personal tributes from Buzz and Dave Scott (amongst others) were heartfelt, as was the respect for his piloting abilities. If anyone did miss the programme or wants to watch it again? It's repeated on BBC2 this coming Sunday at 8pm. I would like to have known why he was so passionate about this then, rather than when NASA was forced to retreat to low earth orbit a few years after he departed the Sea of Tranquility. We are all entitled to our privacy but I feel Armstrong owed it to human space travel to be more in the limelight like Buzz Aldrin.Д¬uriously, the programme either discounted or ignored his vocal criticism of the cancellation of Constellation and of commercial spaceflight in the months prior to his death. The programme was compelling and confirmed my suspicions that we, as part of our human nature, need heroic figures like Neil Armstrong.ДЄrmstrong was probably the right man to be the first man on the Moon, but he was not as reclusive as previously suggested. I have heard stories of people demanding signatures, pushing pictures in front of them - little wonder some people have had poor experiences.Дublin - 2003 - Neil told us that wherever possible he will always pose for photographs with people who ask him to do so - and that's what he did when I met him.ДЄldrin and Armstrong complete gentlemen and the USA should be proud of them. Or indeed any other Apollo astronaut (cosmonauts) I have had the good fortune to meet - I have found a polite attitude, approach with a friendly smile has worked wonders! Buzz gave me two autographs and Neil was very polite pleasant - cannot fault either of them. I found both to be brilliant and answered my questions and gave some of their time to me. I am fortunate to have met Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin an honour to have met them albeit 40 years after their mission. Funnily enough my favourite bit of the whole programme was just 'a man', sitting at a piano and singing. Like any other transaction of value, either it's worth it to you, or it isn't. In any case, I'm not sure why anyone might be offended by his charging for autographs. His personal difficulties post-career are well known here, and perhaps I cut him some slack because of that. For what it's worth, I've never regarded Armstrong as a 'recluse,' 'hermit,' etc.just a man who, despite his singular place in human history, chose to ration his public profile in a way that's perhaps difficult to comprehend for so many of us, given that the currency of 'fame' today is so devalued.ДЄs for Buzz, I also make no judgements. Perhaps we should appreciate, enjoy and reminiscence and not analyse? Aldrin's object was the Aldrin Mars Cycler.

The premise is that three interesting people put forward exhibits for a fictional museum that can take anything (e.g. Topic: Neil Armstrong: First Man on the Moon (BBC/NOVA)ДЄldrin was a very entertaining guest on a recent edition of the Radio 4 (UK) show The Museum Of Curiosity.
