RIP Neil Armstrong. At times it feels like an era is passing. May we continue to be a spacefaring nation.

RIP Mr. Armstrong....

We are a greatful nation for your service, and what you and many other Americans who believed in American Exceptionalism did to get us on the Moon, no other nation has done it....

And yeswe built that, often lowest bidder but the private sector built it...

Does anyone here remember the Aviation Show he did on Warbirds in the mid 90's on I think Discovery or the History Channel?

I could say a lot here, because moments like this cause reflection, an assessment of what has just passed, and what our future looks like.

Instead I’ll just say that I’ll never forget what Neil Armstrong did for all of us. It seems like there couldn’t have been a better man to do it.

I have a lot of respect for Armstrong, and the space program of the day that put him on the Moon, and brought him back.

I have some real problems with Kennedy, but this project is one thing I’ll always appreciate that he supported.

He was a giant among men. His inspiration will last many generations.

[RaceBannon]

Had to happen soon, sad to see the day

I remember watching television upside down to see him on the moon

Comdolences to the Armstrong family.

I'll never forget a story I read about him taking a tour of the Holy Land. He told a writer or reporter who was along for the trip that walking in the same places where Jesus Christ had walked two thousand years ago was more awe-inspiring than walking on the moon.

American Hero....Rest in peace

RIP, Mr. Armstrong, you, along with the rest of our brave space pioneers, have been an inspiration too of us, both great and small. My uncle worked for NASA and most likely, you have met him, he worked on the electronics of the space capsules and later, the space shuttle. I guess both of yuns are together now. Myself, although my career was not into space, the space program inspired me to learn electronics and computers as well as getting my amateur radio license. I was three years old when you and Buzz landed on the Moon but I still remember it like yesterday. Godspeed Mr. Armstrong, you will be missed.

You know what is a bummer, there has been an entire generation of people who were born and grown into adulthood that have never ,ever seen a man walk on the Moon live on TV. I'm 46 and I remember. When I look at the Moon, I think of a true minority of a minority, in all of known human history, there have only been 12 people who can claim to have walked on the Moon. These men are in their 80's and we are losing them, it is an unfortunate fact of life, but it bums me that they might not live to see another American on the Moon. The Moon landings were America's greatest triumph and I feel great to have seen it.

I think of that everytime I look up at the Moon.

Sadly we will arrive at a point in time where no one alive will have ever walked on the moon. I never thought that would be true, in fact I thought it would be the opposite many years ago, that there would be generations of people who would have gone there.

We had a great future before it became important to “save” those who did not want to do for themselves.

RIP Neil.

RIP Neil Armstrong.

[Billthedrill]

RIP. In future ages America itself may be forgotten, but not the first man to stand on another world.

[pepperdog]

Not much will move me to tears but this does, we had such hopes back then, it seems his death and our current situation ends it all.

[Minutemen]

I am very sad.. These men were my boyhood heroes.

[Psycho_Bunny]

What an astonishing life - no human in history can claim to have had an experience more unique than Neil Armstrong.

God bless you, sir.

God bless you, forever.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Rest in Peace, Neil.

[LMControl]

True and genuine American hero. What I admired most about him was the way he lived his life afterwards.... not with fanfare or lust for attention and money, but with humbleness, dignity, and a quiet reserve.

A great American and role model for all to learn from.
