Quote:

Neil Armstrong was a quiet self-described nerdy engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made “one giant leap for mankind” with a small step on to the moon. The modest man who had people on Earth entranced and awed from almost a quarter million miles away has died. He was 82.

Armstrong died following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, a statement Saturday from his family said. It didn’t say where he died.

I wasn't around for him walking on the moon, but I'm sure it was awesome. He will be truly missed. R.I.P., Neil. Thanks for your giant leap for mankind and how it changed the space program forever.

A paused for five minutes last night staring at the Moon just to think of how the greatest moment of progress came to be, something that won't be beaten until somebody reaches Mars. I even remember how special of an event it was when I first read about it when I was a child. Our Space Turtles figures may not have been possible without you, Mr. Armstrong. Thanks for such a wonderful career that has inspired so many astronauts for us.

Along with Buzz Aldrin, he proved not only the ability to reach and walk upon the Moon, but to get back from it alive and well. RIP

"That's one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind." The world will always remember those words. I will remember those words. R.I.P. Mr. Armstrong.

Who ever thought he would outlive the space program? Sad.

The actual quote was probably "That's one small step for a man. One giant leap for mankind." Which would make a lot more sense.

Damn, I didn't even know this until right now. RIP.
