I just got a little steamed (Okay, I have a hole in the wall next to my computer that needs patching right about now), when I first read about that "gaffe".

I've seen the full-sized mockup of the LEM at the Smithsonian and the Apollo CM Trainer at The Detroit Science Center.

When you cram three Americans in that thing, shoot them off on a quarter-million mile trip one way, have them land (just before literally running out of gas), walk around another body in space, come back home safely and be as humble as you were before you left, that speaks volumes about Armstrong's character.
