I saw it tonight and enjoyed it - I don't think there is a pacing problem so much as everything else seems to cater to ADHD. If something doesn't happen every 6 seconds it will be deemed "slow." Still, they probably could have cut 10 minutes. Not a huge failing.

Spoiler ****

I wonder if the Karen bracelet thing really happened?

FWIW, I thought the pacing was appropriate but I suspect a significant and desired movie going demographic will find some of it slow to the point that word-of-mouth may keep audience down. Also FWIW, I see that RT reviewers give the film a higher rating than does audience.
I doubt the bracelet thing actually occurred. Recall during a press conference one of astronauts stated that he planned to take some of his wife's jewelry into orbit. When Armstrong was asked the same question, he indicated he had more important things to do/wanted more fuel more-or-less. The real answer may be researchable: apparently Armstrong's wife was able to contribute to the story before she passed. I liked what I saw in the film so I'll leave that for others.
