Unpublished. Neil Armstrong makes pizza, Houston, Texas, March 1969. Ralph Morse stresses that the feat of the moon landing was accomplished not by supermen or a few geniuses, but by a huge team of smart, imaginative people working incredibly hard. "It's tough to remember that the goal of going to the moon was set by JFK less than 10 years before. We had rocket technology, but really no technology to get up there, and land, and then get back. We had to dream it up, and then build it. NASA, in just a few years, made a spacecraft that could do that. When you think of it, of how talented and dedicated all of these apparently ordinary guys were ... Looking back, it's all just so incredible."
