An Australian CPA association?
I haven't seen this posted (sorry if it has been), but this is pretty interesting -- Neil Armstrong doesn't give many interviews. This is about as extensive an interview I've ever seen of Armstrong actually commenting on the events of Apollo 11 -- pretty much giving play-by-play commentary on the video/film footage -- as well as other events in his life:

One curious note: he seems to go to unusual lengths to avoid mentioning the names of any other participants in the space program. Not egotistical or anything, he just refers to people by their positions rather than names, i.e. "my co-pilot," "the crew of Apollo 1 (or 7/8/9/10)," etc etc. I know in the past with some astronaut interviews there have been some ruffled feathers over how much credit was given, or not given, to other crew members so maybe he thought the best thing to do was just to avoid it.
