RIP Neil Armstrong

I actually had the honor of hearing Mr. Armstrong speak and meeting him after. He's a truly gracious and humble man who was still coming to grips with the fervor and fame in his late 70's. A true hero, the first manned moon mission was far from a sure thing and they almost perished many times. He will be missed.

I was very sad to read of Mr. Armstrong's passing as well.

A true hero indeed.

It's the passing of an era. A truly humble hero.

But that's great about hearing Neil Armstrong speak, he was so private and kept out of the spotlight.

His passing brought back my memories of those early space launches and landings. Back then we watched each and every single one. When those guys landed on the moon we just sat spellbounded (I'd just come in from drivers' ed, just in time). They just don't make them like that anymore Fair winds and following seas, Neil.
