If you can answer the following fourteen questions, you need NOT buy Awestruck. Otherwise…spend a buck and have some fun.

Whose record-setting endeavor was officially deemed by the U.S. government to be "manifestly unsafe," yet he persevered? What was Neil Armstrong's version of a high-profile life after he walked on the moon? Who said "I don't even hear them" when asked about doing his job in front of 40,000 raucous people? What presidential candidate appeared to have thugs beat up a heckler seated just behind me?

Who said that stepping onto the moon "was almost anticlimactic"? What message did the man who dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima have for those who, in hindsight, view that act as one of racism? Who landed a small plane on a treacherous, sloped mountainside to rescue Italian dictator Benito Mussolini? What did I do to warrant public embarrassment by mega-author Stephen King?

Who flew a prototype German Kamakazi-type aircraft during World War II, and why did Hitler cancel the project? How accurate was Tom Hanks' portrayal of astronaut Jim Lovell in the film Apollo 13? What famous aviator said, "No, it is much too dangerous" when asked if he flew recreationally? What astronaut's famous words from the moon were, to prove a point, predetermined at a cocktail party? Why did a Secret Service agent insist on taking my photo?
