Universal Lands First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong

Source:  Variety
Universal has picked up the nonfiction story First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong and will translate it into a film about the first person to set foot on the moon.

Variety reported that NASA historian James R. Hansen got rare direct access to Armstrong, a test pilot-turned-astronaut who was so driven to reach the moon and play the role of American hero that he became known as "the Ice Commander."

No production date has been set.

The moon landing was a fake. If it was real sometime over the last 40 years we or some one else would have gone back. No one has, mainly cause we've never been there. There's a nice video out from Stnely Kubriks wife that pretty informative. But I dont beleive half the sht the news gives me.

it never happened it was a scam. first of all there is no wind on the moon and if you watched the video of the landing on the moon the flag is waving. but Neal Armstrong is famous for being the first person to walk on the staged moon, otherwise known as Area 51
