    Re: Neil Armstrong Has Passed Away

    A great jet pilot who strapped himself to a ballistic missile with seven million pounds of thrust and a computer less powerful than my cell phone's, went to the moon and came back before anyone else, yet never signed autographs or popped off about politics except to say he was ticked off the USA backed off its manned program....yeah, he had the right stuff.

    Re: Neil Armstrong Has Passed Away

    My favorite tribute seen today:

    Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) was not entirely human. He was the spiritual repository of our spacefaring dreams & ambitions. In death, a little bit of us all dies with him. Farewell my friend. And now, perhaps more than ever, I bid you godspeed. -Neil deGrasse Tyson

    Obama should pony up the bucks to have his remains shot to never-never land. That would be cool.

    Re: Neil Armstrong Has Passed Away

    I heard today that Neal Armstrong was 38 when he walked on the moon. 38! That's a lot to have accomplished by that age.

    During the same program, I learned that the Apollo astronauts waited over 6 hours after landing on the moon before stepping out of the spacecraft. That would be like driving a carload of kids across country to Disneyland, getting to the parking lot, then waiting 6 hours before letting them out.

    RIP Mr. Armstrong, an American hero.

    At this risk of sounding like an old fuddy, I wish the kids today had more Neil Armstrong and less Kim Kardashian in them.
