You were The Man!

To the Moon. An amazing feat by an amazing group from the tax payers to the engineers to the astronauts.

RIP

Amen!

Neil was one of the true "hero's" of that era. Having grown up through Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, the fact that they could do whatever they set their minds and hearts to and create the technology where none existed before was truly amazing.

Rest in Peace Neil, and thank you! You are up with the God's now...

If ever there was a Man among Men, Neil Armstrong was one.

God rest his soul.

RIP Neil Armstrong ( 1930-2012 )

I'm from Europe but I love space and it's history. Also I do like hero's like Neil that had the balls to go on the moon in that time period. That's why I want to make a tribute to Neil. I hope he is in a place where he is truly happy, close to the space...


RIP Neil
