Neil Armstrong dies, aged 82.

[demographic]

No doubt at all that he did more than any of us would manage in a lifetime before the 1970s, then went on to get to the age of 82, which isn't a bad age to get to whoever you are.

Think I can raise a glass to that.

A truly inspirational man.

There can be only one... and Neil was the one, the first human to set foot on the moon.
There will never be another Neil Armstrong.

I just remember The Apollo missions from when I was 12. One giant leap to a better place.

He has one in orbit. And fittingly enough, the full moon due in a few days is a Blue Moon.
