Hear hear, his passing is terribly sad news however his legacy remains strong and so endures.
The first moon landing in which Neil Armstrong was very much at the pointy end made our universe a smaller place. While the astronauts were tremendously talented and drawn from the very lucky few, the program also took enormous risks with technology that was very much in its infancy, plus involved some engineering feats that stump us to this day, all of which was brought together by individual determination. Setting foot on the surface of the moon will remain inspirational for generations to come, due in no small part to pioneers such as Armstrong- he will be remembered for that one small step, however his unpretentious and humble nature belies quite extraordinary character and unparalleled achievement.
