Moon pioneer could make $1m in a day - why doesn't he?

A hero to millions, Neil Armstrong has consistently shunned the limelight. To mark the 40th anniversary of the first manned Moon landing, author Andrew Smith travelled across America to discover why the man who first set foot upon the Moon remains such an enigma.

Because unlike most people, he didn't do it for the money. Money also ruins people.

Money also ruins people.

"Money" is an inanimate object and is incapable of ruining people any more than a rock or stick could ruin someone.

 

[Anderton Prime]

"Money" is an inanimate object.

I'm sure someone could make a relatively solid argument as to the truth of this statement, but it ain't me.

Like, what is "money?" Are we referring to the bills and coins themselves? Or to the tricky concept of money and all that it enables its possessor to do?

It's dark in here.

Well what happens when people get a nice amount of money(i.e lottery) is that they want more and more and will do anything to get it. So, yes it does ruin people.

Who is doing the ruining? The money??

(this is off-topic. we should probably move this discussion)

I knew something was off.

I like the way Rowan Atkinson put it: "The only thing harder than not talking about yourself is not talking about why you're not talking about yourself."

Why does this make you brain hurt my friend?

Heres an article I found which suggests that although he may not be making as much as others who have been to the moon, he has not done tto badly out of the whole thing, and fair game to him if he has made some $$s out of his popularity.
