Neil Armstrong (1930 - 2012)

Yesterday the news broke that Neil Armstrong passed away due to complications from blocked coronary arteries. 

As nearly everyone on the planet knows, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon. The quote "That's one small step for man... one giant leap for mankind" is engraved in the memories of children across the generations. He and fellow Astronaut and friend, Buzz Aldrin, spent three hours on the Moon. He is absolute proof that the human spirit can never be beaten. If we dream it, it can happen (unless you dream about your best friend giving you a makeover. Never going to happen, Paul.)

Neil Armstrong was a hero and a pioneer. 

In a statement released by the family, they stated that "The next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

I don't know about the rest of my readers, but I certainly will.


Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong
