Armstrong really was/is cool under pressure. The POS flight computer was taking them into a crater that was filled with VW Bug-sized rocks, so Armstrong took over manually. He landed with less than thirty seconds of fuel left.

Here Armstrong is in the LLTV, which they used to train for the lunar landing. If he had ejected .5 seconds later, he would have been killed:
