Neil Armstrong Has Died
It's being reported that Neil Armstrong has died at the age of 82 due to complications from recent bypass surgery. Surely a name that will remembered in aerospace history as long as there are people who care about such things.
Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon is one of those special moments where anyone who saw it remembers where they were at that exact moment. I sure do!
You know..something that really pissed me off what not a single news channel said anything about; not a damned thing. I found out from stitcher and other INet resources. I guess if a story isn't about Kim Cardasians latest bowel movement then its not news worthy.
And then there were eight ... men who have walked on the moon.
And another nine who travelled to the moon but never landed on its surface.
Neil Armstrong, and really everyone who worked on the Apollo projects, definitely represented what America at the time was truly all about. Neil Armstrong, we know you are resting in peace because you are now at home with the Lord.
On the nine astronauts, who travelled to the moon but never landed on its surface, let's not forget the courage of the crew of Apollo 13 and everyone at mission control, who had to improvise ways to bring the 3 astronauts back to earth.
