\u201cYou want to make a mark - you\u2019d like to leave the world a little better than when you came. That\u2019s my goal.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

This month marks the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing. In this very special episode, a live recording from a 2002 Buffini & Company MasterMind Summit, Brian interviews world-famous astronaut Neil Armstrong. By turns deeply moving, profound and hilarious, this rare interview is an extraordinary insight into the life and mindset of the first man to walk on the moon.

Inspirational quotes from today\u2019s podcast:

\u201cWe loved our work.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

\u201cCommunication was substantially responsible for our success.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

\u201cWe all depend on other people to some extent for our successes...It\u2019s also true that you can\u2019t depend on teamwork to do everything.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

\u201cSome things, when it gets down to it, you have to do yourself.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

\u201cYou don\u2019t want to be the weak link in the chain.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

On the first stage of the flight:

\u201cIt was like going on a very bad railroad track that rattles in all three directions!\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

On the second stage of the flight:

\u201cIt was so smooth and so quiet...we couldn\u2019t even be sure that the engine was running.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

On the sights from Apollo 11:

\u201cEvery sight in space is spectacular.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

\u201cI hope technology will allow more and more people to go and see those sights.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong

\u201cOur planet is a beautiful place, particularly when you see it from a distance... it\u2019s a magnificent sight.\u201d \u2013 Neil Armstrong\xa0
