>>12107548I think at first he'd be shocked how much we lost interest. The extraordinary budget and support for spacefaring that the cold war brought, lasted over decades and surely felt normal for people like him, to some degree. I'm sure he was introduced to Moore's Law and similar observations and this alone would let expectations for an additional timeframe of 50 or so years go way past what we are achieving today.
That being said I'm sure the cold war didn't get hot after all and he'd kind of know how extraordinary the situation of his actually was.
But still, in his lifetime he saw rockets evolve from pyrotechnical models to the Saturn V.
What I'm actually curious about is what he'd thing about oldspace and SpaceX at this point.
Did Armstrong ever make a second statement?
