AU: Armstrong-1

Just got the odd thought in my head. What circumstances in Neil Armstrong's history might develop that would persuade the most famously reticent moon walker to make a bid for the Presidency? All I could come up with was him being sticking around NASA long enough to head up the administration ladder to get some political infighting experience, and then ending up a VP pick on one of Glenn's periodic bids for the White House, and the latter dying in office unexpectedly.

I can see him being a real world Aral Vorkosigan. Extremely reluctant to take the job, but doing the best he can out of duty.

"With agonizing slowness"

Why the frell can't it ever be "With agonizing speed"?
