The film First Man (2018) is about Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. In the movie, it shows Armstrong drop his deceased daughter's bracelet into a crater on the Moon. The bracelet is used in the film as a symbol for his grief over his daughter's death. Did he actually do this in real life or was this a fictional plot device added by the film makers?

          Possibly



          Apparently screenwriter Josh Singer




          asked Armstrong's sister, June Hoffman, whether her brother had left something for Karen on the moon. June's response: "Oh, I dearly hope so."



          "Nearing the bar we were setting for ourselves in terms of accuracy, I never would have felt comfortable doing that on my own," Singer said. "But hearing that it's good enough for Jim, and good enough for June, it was good enough for me."



          So, it wasn't fully a Hollywood-ized version of the moon landing. It is more of an educated theory.

          • There's still a debate on whether "Moon landing" itself was real or not LOL.

          I've read a number of historical accounts of NASA through the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo era, as well as biographies of many Astronauts and Engineers on the program and I've never heard of this before.



          This is covered in an article in the Washington Post.



          That said, it would almost certainly have been possible. Astronauts were allowed some personal items on the missions. Buzz Aldrin took items to take Communion on the Moon on the Apollo 11 mission. On Apollo 15 there was a scandal when the astronauts took a number of postal covers on the trip to sell for a profit later.



          So, it's a fictional element of the story and there's no account written about it, but its not impossible or even improbable that he would do something like this.

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
