The speech goes a long way to showing Neil’s sense of humour, his generosity to others involved in the Apollo program and a unique perspective on the historic events he was part of.

As part of the speech, Neil introduces and commentates the world premier of an incredible video (starts at 27 minutes) that will end forever any discussion of faked moon landings.

Neil guides us through the landing using a side-by-side merge of footage from the 16 mm movie film shot by a camera mounted in the front window of his lunar module ‘Eagle’, along side Google Moon footage using imagery from NASA’s 2009 Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO). Landing video produced by GoneToPlaid.

The two sets of footage, separated by 42 years are bought together and synchronized to show the final few minutes of the July 1969 decent and landing on the Sea of Tranquillity. It is truly compelling and you get the sense that Neil was temporarily transported back into the cabin of the Eagle for those few minutes.

Tragically, Neil passed away one year and one day after delivering this speech, at the age of 82. He was a true gentleman and wonderful representative of human kind and will be forever remembered and sadly missed. Ad Astra Neil Armstrong.
