"I believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and
I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street."
- Neil Armstrong

It'd be sad if Armstrong, a de facto ambassador for science, had said
something so baseless. Is there any evidence that he actually did?

I just can't resist a challenge. The first 3 pages of Google hits do seem
to back up Armstrong as a source,

There are tons of sites that attribute the quote to him, but I didn't notice
any sites that said anything about what makes them think he said it. Did you
find that information anywhere?

Thanks,
Gary
