On this edition of ‪@mannedspace1187‬ we recount the final preflight press conference held by the the three Apollo 11 astronauts - Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins and Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin - on July 14, 1969.

The three astronauts appeared in a nationally televised press conference.in an interview with four newsmen conducted over closed-circuit TV, with the astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and press 15 miles away. 

Armstrong, mission commander, said that after a decade of planning and hard work, the astronauts were “willing and ready to attempt to achieve our national goal. This is possible because very many Americans across the nation have dedicated themselves to quality craftsmanship and ingenuity.” 

In response to question on astronauts’ attitudes toward mission, Armstrong said fear was not unknown, but added: “Fear is characteristic particularly of a knowledge that there may be something that you haven’t thought of and feel that you might be unable to cope with.  I think our training and all the work that goes into the preparation for a flight does everything it can towards erasing those kinds of possibilities and I would say that as a crew we . . . have no fear of launching out on this expedition.”
