There was no denying the brilliance of Mailer’s exposé. Yet Mailer really did not care about Armstrong, the man, on a personal level, only as a vessel into which the author could pour his own mental energy and profundity. What Mailer wrote in his chapter “The Psychology of Astronauts” was highly provocative and insightful as social criticism, but as history, biography, or real psychology, it shed considerably more heat than light.

The mythologizing and iconography had only just begun. Fifteen days after the press conference, Armstrong would step onto the Moon. He would no longer be just a man, not for any of us. He would be First Man.
