The astronauts are anything but reluctant to talk about their experiences. They've written books, apeared on television, spoken to the press and to authors. Many of them are selective about whom they speak to, and Armstrong has to be especially so because he was the first. If he answered every single request to talk about Apollo 11 he'd do nothing else with his life, ever.
