|  | Neil Armstrong's daughter.
« Thread Started on Dec 25, 2005, 5:40pm » | |
Hello and Merry Christmas to you all.
Someone told me today that Neil Armstong used to have a daughter but that she died in mysterious circumstances when she was a toddler. The person who told me this said that she was murdered because he was about to confess that he had not really been to the moon.
I don't believe this myself.
I have read a lot about Apollo and it seems that Neil Armstrong never had a daughter, can anyone confirm this?

He had a daughter named Karen, she died of brain cancer in 1962.
What are the "mysterious circumstances", and what would be the point of killing a two year old girl seven years before the moon landings occured?

Especially when he was only selected for the training in 1962 previous to Gemini and so wasn't an automatic choice for a Moon mission anyways, let lone the first to land.

Whoever came up with that one is one sick-minded individual. This is a new low. Has he no decency at all? I am comprehensively disgusted.

Honestly, is this really anything new? Just watch Oliver Stone's "JFK" to see how disgusting Conspiracy Theories can be.
Then there's the claim of the astronauts being killed in Apollo 1 to "keep them silent". that's just as disgusting, only it didn't involve children.

Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't go back in time to kill Armstrong's grandfather.

I'm currently working through "First Man" , the authorised bio of Neil Armstrong - the chapter covering the death of his daughter is sad , and rather poinant -
Intrestingly the author makes a strong case for the death of his daughter being one of the main factors in making Neil think about joining NASA - since he hadn't at that time
Oh and I'd recommend the book , very detailed - some of the text is a little offputting , e.g the use of "mates" to describe his collegues , but overall worth a read

I'm also reading it, haven't gotten to the chapter about his daughter yet though (I think it's maybe the next chapter... right now it's about Armstrong's time at Edwards). It's a very good read so far, the chapters about his time in Korea were very interesting... I might have to watch "The Bridges at Toko-Ri" now.

"Cheer up!" they said, "It could be worse!" So I did, and it was.

Didn't know about that... now I definately have to watch it!
Actually, another reason why I want to see it is because apparently Alan Shepard was one of the pilots used for some of the in-flight footage (according to the IMDb). I doubt he's recognizable in any way, but whatever, I'll watch it anyway.

No it's A New Hope: the Death Star Trench scenes were directly copied from the attack up the valley from The Bridges at Toko Ri; in fact Toko scenes were spliced into the preliminary screenings of Star Wars when the model footage wasn't ready.

They also used clips from The Dam Busters, an outstanding movie released year before BaTR. It also involved tight, low-level bomb runs, in the face of intense flak, against difficult targets, in this case using inovative targeting devices and specially-made bombs. Highly recommended!
