Gutted.

 

Rip Legend

[sussexsaint]

Gutted, a personal hero of mine.

 

The story of his heroics in getting that lander down is breathtaking. They prepared to die there, true heroes.

 

RIP Neil

[smackalec]

Proper world wide legend. RIP

[anothersaintinsouthsea]

Someone who's name will live on for thousands of years.

[Jimmy_D]

A legend. RIP.

Rip legend

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

A surprising ordinary - and yet utterly extraordinary - man who despite his eternal fame, and all the wealth and power it might have led to, never let it go to his head.

Probably could have made a packet on the "celebrity" circuit but preferred a quiet life.

 

A hero in the true sense of the word.

Do you lot actually believe that in 1969 the Yanks put men on the Moon ? It does make me chuckle how gullible some Folk are.

You remind me of an old poster.....................

One final, giant leap. R.I.P. Neil Armstrong.

[Junction 9]

He kept a very big secret incredibly well, I'll give him that.

[explorer saint]

Top man very proud of something the yanks did at last but very sad news

[lettuce]

A world wide hero... first man on the moon, yet incredibly grounded and down-to-earth. R.I.P.

[kwsaint]

R.I.P. I genuinely feel sad that he's died. Really puts the era of space travel to the moon in reality for me. We just don't have the ambition like they did in the 60s.

[colehillsaint]

Amazing really that they got to the moon, without as much as a laptop.

[doubleonothing]

R.I.P a true legend.

 

An inspiration to many.

 

Got to be given a state funeral or the American equivalent. Though Neil Armstrong was a very humble man. He was a reluctant hero.

Curiosity Rover? Our next era of space exploration will be in this century, the passion and ambition is still there.

First Michael Jackson, now Neil Armstrong, the Americans are running out of moon walkers!

[hypochondriac]

A bad week for the surname Armstrong...
