May his soul forever have fun haunting those that doubted him!
RIP to Neil and the Apollo program.
What an awesome story. I remember watching the moon walk scene in July 1969 on TV like it was yesterday. Funny, my wife was 2 months old at the time and doesn't even really know what I'm talking about! [laugh] Armstrong lived a wonderful, quiet, modest life considering he was one of the most famous men to have ever walked this planet. How cool was that?

Yes indeed.
I clearly remember watching it with my Dad on our black + white TV.... I was a kid and it was amazing but I still remember how utterly awe-struck my Dad was by this fantastic event. For kids... amazing is more achievable and as impressed as i was...... it was my Dad who truly understood the magnitude of that historic moment.
RIP Neil Armstrong - And thanks for the Giant Leap you gave us.
RIP Neil. One my childhood heroes. I wanted to be an astronaut for a long time...

I felt the same way when I heard about his passing.

A great American, he will be missed.
