I can vividly remember watching that moon landing in the boys dorm recreation room. No one knew for sure what was going to happen.
Armstrong was also one of the pioneer test pilots who brought in the jet age and then rocket power.

Last of the truly humble heroes.
It is far past time that other have been farther out there than he.

Wish he’d been able to stick around to see our space program back in action after obumbles.
At any rate, rest well Sir.

As a young child, space exploration fascinated me. I would watch every shuttle launch and read everything I could about astronauts and space exploration. Rest in peace, Mr. Armstrong.

Neil Armstrong was the coolest, man!
RIP

Wapakoneta, Ohio, his hometown, is about 40 miles from here. He was my childhood hero.

Armstrong and his hot ride circa 1962, the North American Aviation X-15. The experimental program produced flights up to an altitude of 67 miles and velocity of 4,519 mph.

As I said on the other thread now locked that moment back in 1969 was the greatest human achievement event of my lifetime. While I am much younger I suddenly feel my mortality a bit more. RIP Mr. Armstrong and thanks for the memories.

I met Neil Armstrong when he was first chosen as an astronaut. The astronaut's secretary lived in my apt. complex and they would come by to pick up or leave stuff with her when they flew in and out of town.
The day he came over we had moved from the pool to her living room. She introduced everybody and told us after he left that he was going to be the first man to step on the moon. It was 6 years later that he did. It always amazed me that NASA had planned that far a head.
Once my next door neighbor almost ran over Scott Carpenter pulling into the parking lot.

I was just a little kid in 1969, 8 years old, but my dad and I watched every minute of the TV coverage. For me and for my dad, a WWII vet, this was the pinnacle of American ingenuity and bravery.
Godspeed Neil. The Eagle has landed.
