I found Musk's slight display of emotion when he talked to Aldrin and Armstrong's criticism to be very humanizing and touching.

When he said his response to their criticism is to prove to them that it can be done and done well made me admire him.

Agreed 100%. You can tell Elon meant it when he said that they are some of his heros, and that he's truly hurt by them lambasting a mission that he felt would make them proud.

It goes to show you that even our heros don't know everything, and even if they let us down we have to follow our own path. Elon Musk is a hero of mine, and I'm sure to many others. Not to mention he was Robert Downey Jr's inspiration for Tony Stark.
