mykeyb Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 As a boy in the 60s he was obviously a hero. RIP
trekka Posted August 25, 2012 VT Supporter Posted August 25, 2012 A pioneer, one whom had many follow in his footsteps. Rest in Peace.

Chindie Posted August 25, 2012 VT Supporter Posted August 25, 2012 A man whose name is written in history for eternity. A great loss.
The_Rev Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 One of the immortals. Assuming we dont wipe each other out first, people will still know his name in a thousand years time. RIP.
coda Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Sad news. I heard they chose him out of the potentials because he was a humble guy with virtually no ego.
lapal_fan Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I can't believe this.. I was born in the 80s but I always looked to him as some sort of hero. I mean, he's been to the moon!
Eames Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 The term legend has no value in 2012. In a society where rocket polishers in Essex will use legend to describe thfe bloke that got the beers in, I can't find the right adjective. No, legend is right. He was a legend. 1

leemond2008 Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 How did he go? Was he already ill? Tis a shame he is one of them people that even if you ain't interested in that sort of stuff you still know who he is
The_Rev Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Complications following heart surgery is the reason given, but he was 82. Not a bad innings really, especially when you WALKED ON THE **** MOON!!
rendelc Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I think its time to watch my ' The Right Stuff ' Dvd .
villarule123 Posted August 25, 2012 VT Supporter Posted August 25, 2012 Achieved mankind's greatest ever accomplishment. RIP
Jezza Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 He had an ice-cool ability to fly - apparently, he only had 20 seconds of fuel left before he had to land on the moon. Legend Of The Universe. R.I.P, Neil - you deserve to be flying to the stars right now, fella.
ED Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 There haven't been enough Lance / Neil Armstrong jokes in the last week IMO
