I find it strange that the astronauts seem reluctant to talk about their experiences. Their behaviour is more redolent of shell-shock than triumph.
Face the press with Armstrong Aldrin and Collins...

And I would like to add another nail to the coffin of this comment.
In August I went to
Spacefest and
personally met a
whole lot of the astronauts that walked on the moon. (and I have the
pictures to prove it). These men had no "minders" sitting near them (except their wives hah!) and talked very openly, freely, and willingly about their experience. They gave speeches, shook hands, signed books, talked and talked and talked...for 3 days. Your claim, second hand as it may be, is simply preposterous, as my FIRST hand experience proves.
