The three from 11 are 81, and John Glenn is 90. God, that makes me feel old. I can remember being in awe of Glenn's flight, when I was a schoolboy, and Apollo 11 when I was a young pilot.

Not sure if it's true or if my memory is correct but I thought I read somewhere that Armstrong was not keen on the astronaut physical training program saying something along the lines of "God gave us a finite number of heartbeats - I'm not wasting any on exercise".

Wonderful!
Nice to see the achievements of these special people are still recognised.
"Carrying the Fire" by Mike Collins is one of the most insightful and entertaining aeronautical books I have read.
Respect.
