 ...ing the first men on another
world to sleep for 4i hours with the Moon's tempting surface
just outside had always seemed an unlikely one, despite
Dr Berry's pre-launch experiments on Armstrong and Aldrin
with small doses of sedatives, and Armstrong himself in his
final TV appearance before blast-off had very firmly reserved
the option.
So it was at 3.56 a.m. BST, on Monday, July 21, a littl...

no mention of fatigue or difficulty in
