One small step...

Neil Armstrong, 1st man on the moon, died yesterday. 82 years old.

One small step. Ride on into eternity, rocket man. You have left Earth for the last time.

R.I.P. Mr Armstrong

Very Humble man. Never considered himself a hero. I sure do. May he ride the stars forever.

The whole moon landing was faked...Just kidding! I remember watching that landing in 69'. I was five years old. I didn't understand what a big deal it was at the time but wow! I did read an article on him today. As Citcapp stated he was a very humble man and avoided the spotlight as much as he could. I wish more celeberities were like that today...RIP Neil!
