Thanks as always, Katherine. I'm glad you liked my answer—and it certainly doesn't make you a psychopath. (Though I've been told enjoying my writing indicates some sort of malady.)
I totally agree. While I recognize Armstrong's remarkable aviation skills, I admire him most for the way he navigated life after Apollo. Thanks so much for reading - and responding!
The idea that "Armstrong's heart rate never flickered during the treacherous landing" seems to be a myth. According to NASA, during the final approach, after he took over manual control, his heart rate increased from 75 to 150, understandably. Interestingly, it was Buzz Aldrin whose heart rate remaining remarkably low throughout the mission. I believe he was a more experienced pilot than Armstrong, which might explain that. But interesting post, nonetheless.
For what it's worth, I thought the woman killed her sister because she was dating funeral guy. Pretty sure that's also more psychopathic than the psychopath answer.
Love it, as always. I think having a couple of psychopath genes is very opportune for a writer. I wish I could be more clinical and coldly observant at times. I answered that question that the woman killed her sister because her sister's husband was the man she liked. This is completely illogical however, as it was expressly stated that the man was unknown to her. It's my over-emotive brain thinking THERE MUST BE A GOOD REASON that someone would kill their own sister, and I'd invent some complex psychological reason about families and trauma when there really isn't one.
Always wonderful - but I loved your extra-psychopathic answer. I hope that doesn’t come off as psychopathic.

Your storytelling had me hooked. You gave great insight into how Neil
Armstrong ‘s history helped shape him into the man who was near perfect for the Apollo 11 mission and how he eschewed fame afterwards.
