Default Neil Armstrong takes one giant leap into afterlife
Passed away today at the age of 82.....although I would be willing to be that most of society didn't even know he was still alive. The man sure liked to keep a low profile.

From the sounds of it, he underwent a heart-bypass surgery earlier this month.

They should get a crew of guys to fly to the moon and drop his ashes off. Shouldn't be an issue right?

One lied about landing on the moon and one lied about doping. Let the Armstrong name live on

It was a pretty big leap. He should be tested for doping.

I think they're going to strip him of his "first man on the moon" title.

I love this quote from another forum:

Quote:
One of the rare dead men to leave footprints.
Also, does he get a state funeral? I would hope so.

statement from his family, love this quote:

Quote:
For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

Great man.

I will be watching the NASA TV feed tonight, hopefully they finally get to launch the Atlas V carrying NASA’s Radiation Belt Storm Probes payload, I hope they have a tribute to Mr. Armstrong.
