A little piece of human history passed away today, but what a piece!

 

Rip.

R.I.P. Neil.

You made me dream when I was a child, now that I'm 53, you still do it.

Thanks for being with us.

Have a nice flight to the moon and farther.

Rest in peace, pioneer of this age!

 

Excellent audience with Neil, please watch if you have not. Some EXCELLENT footage!

God speed sir

indeed - God Speed

R.I.P so sad he was a truly American Herero he will be missed!!!

No passing will affect me more than that of the man who will be remembered for all time for taking that first human step into the universe.

 

 

Not just an American, he was an ambassador for the whole of the human race.

As we remember the explorers and heros of the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, a thousand years from now, Neil Armstrong will be remembered for his one step. A step not taken as an American, but a step taken as a citizen of community earth.

See you on Moon

On that evening in July 1969 Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, and for a brief moment the world shared w/ us this great American accomplishment one which I remember well. For me, nothing can match this moment in history. It was an event filled with excitment and joy, and alot of happy tears and tears today at the loss of this real American and his life long accomplishments.

 

As you look at the moon tonight remember all those who contributed to this time of exploration and this one man who had the skills to make it all happen. Thank You Neil for all you gave us

Rest in peace & God Speed! And Tom you're absolutely right, he shall be remembered for ever.

While deeply saddened by the loss, I can not help but feel anger and dispair as well. Where once we dreamt of the stars, and took steps to make our dreams come true, now... old age has taken the man who took that first and biggest step. As a child watching his momentous adventures on television, I shared Neil's belief that this was only the first of many to come. I believed then that as I grew into a man, I would be able to follow in his footsteps, and my children would go beyond him. But now, as the last of our explorers leave us, where is the hope for the future to come from?

 

Like Neil Armstrong, Marco Polo and Christopher Columbus are remembered for their voyages of discovery, but it was only when others followed the paths they had blazed, that their world was changed forever. Who now will follow in Neil's footsteps, and go on to change our world?

R.I.P Neil.

 

He was a pioneer for mankind. The first person to step on the moon, something that had been dreamed about just like flight. What an amazing accomplishment.

Thank you Neil; and if you do visit the moon again, start up one of the rovers up there and go for a ride. After the space shuttle those rovers have to be the coolest vehicles out there.

In an era when 'celebrities' seem to have replaced heros and seem to come and go at the whim of the TV audience, here was a true hero for the world. Like many, I remember where I was when he spoke those fateful words and though I was young then, Neil inspired me to achieve my goals as I am sure he did many he world over. May he rest in peace.
