New Armstrong interview
« on: May 01, 2012, 08:41:53 AM »
CPA Australia's giant leap - Neil Armstrong agrees to interview with... accountant?

Quote
IT took him 30 years to agree to a television interview.

And since then, you could count his meaningful appearances on half a hand.

The people who scored the interview say it's possible he'll never be interviewed again.

So how did an Australian company get to shoot the breeze in a 40-minute one-on-one with one of the most in-demand, yet seldom heard heroes of modern history, Neil Armstrong?

And not just any company - accounting body CPA Australia.

The first in the four-part series - Space Race - went to air online today at The Bottom Line, hosted by evoTV.

It's introduced by CPA Australia CEO Alex Malley, who explains that "he knew something that a lot of people didn't know about Neil Armstrong".

"His dad was an auditor."

Technically, it didn't take him 30 years to agree to a television interview; he was interviewed by Patrick Moore on the BBC in 1970.

Thanks for posting this. I just got Jim Hansen's "First Man" a few days ago so really looking forward to reading about his Korean War and Test pilot accomplishments.
