I wouldn't want to be the doctor on whose table Neil Armstrong died. Guy must be devastated.

R.I.P.

 

[Bonton]

I was actually proud that 2 pages went without a moron on GAF calling conspiracy theories. Then twitter conspiracy theories are posted. smh

Yeah. Shit. I lost 20 € because of that...

This guy had been out of the limelight for so long that I didn't even realize he was still alive.

You know... because Buzz is the one making all those TV and media appearances.

I never thought I would have cried as much as I did hearing this.

RIP History hero.

He should be the first man buried on the moon. I'm not joking.

I dont know if his family would like the idea, but I think it would be beautifull.

RIP.

Hopefully in the next 50 years we can build him a monument on the moon.

Or this could even be better.

Yesterday I saw a guy wearing a shirt that said, "Space...what the fuck are we waiting for?" I agreed, and nodded in his direction.

 

[Cheesemeister]

That only holds water if the Chinese suddenly took an interest.

Uh, the Moon does hold water.

Just a decade or so away from having no humans that have ever set foot on another world

8 left, the youngest being Charles Duke at age 76.

Seemed like he was out of the public eye for a long time in his later years. RIP.

Generally, he tried to stay out of the public eye. I always had respect for that aspect of his accomplishment.

Funny fact: He thought you were hitting on him and stalked you home.




Soon.

I meant like a cup, not molecularly bound in rocks

Is this missing a word? It's getting on my nerves.

missing quotations.

 

[Ezalc]

RIP, one of humanity's heroes.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

missing quotations.

Well and are. I only noticed it after the fact (and since I had to copy it into paint and then cut and paste and save it to upload)...I wasn't doing it again. lol

 

[PjotrStroganov]

A recent (and rare) interview

What a lovely guy.

Just wait 'til the man-made Lake Armstrong is completed.

This picture has always been absolutely breathtaking (and a bit haunting) to me.
I can't even imagine what it must been been like in person.

Godspeed, Mr. Armstrong.
Instead of reading my daughter one of her silly kids books tonight I will tell her about the first man that walked on the moon and inspired an entire world.

These guys must have had icewater in their veins to not absolutely lose their shit at sights like that.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

These guys must have had icewater in their veins to not absolutely lose their shit at sights like that.

considering some of the test aircraft these guys would fly, I'd say you are absolutely correct in that belief.


Icewater in the veins & balls the size of glaciers.

 

[TheContact]

Heroes never die, they just fade away.

He's forever immortalized in text, couldn't ask for a better fate.

Godspeed, Mr. Armstrong.

Awesome.

 

[Revenant]

Took some pictures at the Armstrong Statue in front of our engineering building named after our former alum. Lots of flowers, letters, etc by the statue.
