The Dish had a few factual errors in it too, Fris. i.e. The first video feed of Neil's walk came from Honeysuckle (HSK), not PKS as shown in the movie
But it wasn't a bad movie otherwise
Wally, I was a bright-eyed primary school kid, sitting in the Assembly Hall watching it unfold on a 26" black & white telly with a couple of hundred other kids. The week or so's media coverage leading up to the culmination of the landing and EVA on 21 July was the inspiration for me (and I'm sure a generation of others) to pursue an aviation career.
So, I still have to say Neil is the best pilot I ever saw. Rest in Peace.
If you're asking about an Australian pilot, I couldn't mention his name here, because he's too humble, and would be embarrassed to see his name on a public forum
