Default NEIL ARMSTRONG RIP

He was the embodiment of how far aeromodelling can take you, every time I look at the moon I am reminded of him and always will be, RIP Neil they don't make them like you anymore.

A true pilot hero is gone. Just red the " First man". Amazing how the early jets had just the same problems as we face with model jets.

My Dad would wake us kids up to hear the latest of Neil Armstrong's exploits on the Apollo missions.. I even had a couple of the Apollo space craft.. Ever since then I always looked to the sky and space as I grew up on guam..He will be missed Forever.....

Yes, it was great to watch, rather sad.
Especially the bit where the interviewer says that Neil can take him glider flying on his 100th birthday. [&o]
What a loss.

I just love what the family said about how to remember this modest, understated guy. Next time I see the moon, I'll give him a wink.
I wonder if there will be a state funeral for him? Neil would not have wanted it from what I have learned of him, and I doubt that his family will either. However, I can't think of a better candidate for this honour.
RIP Neil. You inspired a whole generation.

"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small. "

OUTSTANDING Documentary (love all 4 parts). Not just about rockets and spacecraft, but covering what is missing today. The courage, drive and determination to make many things happen for the greater good. Interesting that what is missing from Neil Armstrong is the over inflated ego and selfishness that is so common today. Thanks for the link.
