* Neil's [[TheStoic stoic demeanor]] makes it hard for him to relate on a personal level with people. This comes to a head just before he leaves for Apollo 11 when Janet forces him to have a talk with his kids about the risks of the flight. He answers his kid's questions almost exactly like he did at the press conference.
---> '''Rick''': Do you think you're coming back?
---> '''Neil''': We have real confidence in the mission, and there are some risks, but we have every intention of coming back.
---> '''Rick''': But you might not?
** Not to mention Janet's speech to Neil where she makes it clear that he ''will'' tell his kids there's a chance he doesn't make it home.
---> '''Janet''': Pat doesn't have a husband. Those kids, they don't have a father anymore. Do you understand what that means? What are the chances that's going to be Ricky and Mark? And I can't tell them that their dad spent the last few minutes packing his briefcase! You're gonna sit them down. Both of them. And you're going to prepare them for the fact that you might not ever come home. You're doing that. You. Not me. I'm done.
