Neil Armstrong

I can't believe he didn't get a thread on here. One of the most important figures of the 20th century. Tut [-(

It's strange that a person involved in such an iconic moment remained so low profile.

He clearly was not ever motivated by fame a d fortune and you have to doff a cap to his integrity.

Bloody brave soul too.

I may inadvertently have destroyed one by pure accident.

You merged it with the other Armstrong discussion in the cycling thread, didn't you?

I know he was 82, but hey! He went to the moon & walked there. How cool is that! True inspiration, all the astronauts. I was born, as I believe Crawley was, in the year the first man orbited earth, so going into space is a big deal to me.

It was lurking in The Space thread.

I left it to Mike.T

One of the few men in the world i had respect for, i loved how he decided to then take a step back and live a quiet life.

He was always on my list as a fantasy dinner guest.

I can't imagine what the raw emotion that stepping onto the moon and seeing that big blue marble in the sky must have been like. The select few that have experienced such a feeling are so lucky.
