...returned to civilian life, and the Nixon Administration, mired in the Vietnam War, did not want a commissioned officer "militarizing" space. Second, his reticent manner was considered ideal for coping with the demands of celebrityhood. Third, and most practical, as mission commander he was physically closer to the hatch of the Eagle and had to be the first out. Since Armstrong was assigned to handle the camera, most of the pictures from that famous mission are of Aldrin, with Armstrong seen only as a reflection on the colonel's helmet. With Michael Collins, who piloted the command module above them...
...Studying Ash Shinariya from his hatch, Mitchell, a wiry 34 year-old, turned to his crew-blonde Texan Sergeant Robert Jones and care free Californian Private First Class Jonah Bishop-and cracking a wide grin he uttered into his mic, "lees go een start a feet."

As reality TV has turned the likes of Richard Hatch and Kelly Clarkson into cheap, commodified and replaceable mini-celebs, the culture of celebrity has changed.
