Another major part of my youth has passed. I remember watching the moonlanding in '69. There has never been a moment like that, and likely never will again.

So long, Captain.

Ad Astra.


:(


Defiantly a hero of my childhood he will be missed.


He surely has slipped the bonds of earth to touch the face of god.


Just learned about that.

Tis a shame.

Now Buzz Aldrin is just some crazy guy who cant back up his statement that he walked on the moon with a living witness. Once they are all gone - no-one will have walked on the moon.


That...is an ugly possibility. The anti-moon landing folks have been getting louder over the years....

If I ever meet a moon landing denier I will make them wish that I had denied their existence.

Anybody that willing straps themselves to a bomb, propels themselves into space, subjects themselves to the dangers of solar radiation and vaccume in something not much larger than a SUV, and lands on another world and shares that with all humanity is an immortal hero, along with Odysseus, and Jason.


One of the bravest men in my lifetime. Godspeed!

This is why I am a big supporter of sending ten million women to colonize the moon.

Someone once made the mistake of pushing Armstrong past his tolerance with his strident denials, and earned a well deserved slugging.

Actually, I believe that was Buzz Aldrin.


I know a moon landing denier, actually. Sad thing is, he's really an otherwise intelligent and together guy. He's just got this...blind spot. No matter what evidence you bring to the contrary, he will not believe man has walked on the moon.

RIP, Neil. The rest of us applaud you and your accomplishments. Now if we can just get a manned space program going again...


God speed sir.

Stands at attention and salutes the American flag

RIP Neil Armstrong..we will always remember that it was a SCOTTISH American who walked on the moons surface first.

Think they should have a word with someone...


I remember watching the space launches live. Apollo 11 thru 17.

Wonderful times.

Been doing a lot of stargazing since hearing about Neil Armstrong's passing.

He and that entire crew gave us so many things to dream about.

Godspeed towards stranger, infinite frontiers, sir.
