I have had the pleasure to meet and socialize with several astronauts.
While a senior in high school, I had lunch with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in April, 1969 (2 months before... well you know).
I know I didn't eat - not sure if I took a breath.
Pete Conrad (Gimini and Apollo and walked on the moon) and 2 shuttle astronauts.
Conrad acted like it was no big deal and it happened a long time ago.
Growing up, astronauts were my heroes and I only hope that I didn't act too much like a kid when I was with them.
