Come on people. Neil would not have wanted a state funeral. He was a humble man. The last thing he would have wanted was a big dog and pony show funeral (was that a pun?).

I agree. But the issue here to me is that Obama should have offered a state funeral, allowing Armstrong's family to politely decline.

I agree. Besides, if Obama had offered him a state funeral, he’d be ripped for injecting himself into a private matter. I don’t like Obama at all, but let’s be fair.

Neil Armstrong, RIP.
