In a handbasket
Neil Armstrong has passed at the age of 82.

I don't even know where to start. He was larger than life in his courage to travel to the moon and back. I still remember exactly where I was when he pressed the first human footprint into the moon's surface.

RIP sir.

Just got the news. Somewhere I have a photo I took of the TV screen with him taking that giant step. I was so envious. RIP Neil.

This is really sad.
I think the whole world, not just America, should be saddened by this death. Setting foot on the Moon is an accomplishment that we as humans should take great pride in.
 
Maybe the only time I was allowed to stay up that late. A true hero.

His humble and quiet handling of fame after accomplishing one of the all time greatest achievements in human history is truly unheard of in today's mad scramble to get a moment in the spotlight. The Eagle has landed, and may he forever rest in peace in heaven's Tranquility Base.

Well said Imon. This was an accomplishment for all humanity, not just the US.
