Heres what I believe...
Armstrong was quiet, driven, introspective and dedicated to doing the job.
He didn't want fame, notoriety or any celebration for his work.
His humility is unchallenged.
Buzz Aldrin is an accomplished Pilot and Astronaut who did his job.
But Buzz was interested in the limelight.
I think he would rather have been the "first man" for obvious reasons.
Still to this day, Buzz is acting the part of a "celebrity", and although he does it all in the name of promoting "Space Exploration", I think he really just enjoys being a "star".
I don't think they were friends...but I think they were professionals who got the job done.
The movie did make Buzz look like a disagreeable and jealous type.
Whether he was, I'm really not sure.
But it wouldn't be a huge surprise if it was true.
...
I just read, at 88 years old, Aldrin is suing his own children and agent claiming they have stolen money from him.
