There's a huge difference between "able and willing to do them" and "did them."

So, do you actually know anything about Neil's life, and are dismissing all of those accomplishments, or are you making that statement out of complete ignorance? He didn't pop out of a test tube and into the Eagle, and sure, lets say thousands of people were equally qualified. That's about 0.00002% of of the population, and puts him in the top 0.1% of the people that could have done what he did (i.e. he did it).

Agree with what? I made no statements and declared no opinions. I simply asked a question because I knew there was a lot to the man, and I wanted to learn more.
