ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I see Neil Armstrong has died. 82, so not too bad an innings, as they say. As someone else (not they) said: "The man who achieved possibly the most incredible thing in the history of our species to date, and was then humble and modest about it to a degree unimaginable today." Those Apollo 11 dudes were cool though. And they came up with a really good quotable quote. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Have to admit, shed a tear this morning when I woke up and saw the news. The guy was a hero to me growing up and my dream was to be an astronaut, alas the RAF put a dampener on that. Whenever I look up at the moon, it still blows me away that humanity put 12 men on it.
