RIP Neil Armstrong

Who didn't want to be an astronaut as a kid?

Odd that I walked past Yuri Gagarin's grave today and thought about my boyhood dreams of going to the moon too.

I certainly didn't.

Surprised no other comments on here. Neil Armstrong was a pioneer for all mankind, and if you ever get the chance to visit Kennedy Space Centre, please go and marvel at the machines that Armstrong and other astronauts have used to further space exploration.

RIP Neil Armstrong.

I was lucky enough to watch the first moon landing the following day at school. Westwood had an early version of a VCR.

I remember staying up all night and watching the grainy pictures coming from the moon, it also happened to be my 17th birthday, July 21st 1969.

RIP

Many conspiracy theories about man never landing on the moon but you can't make up the stories Neil and Co had.

RIP Neil

So good they named a road after him.

We have all the time in the world...



Hang on, that was Louis. RIP Neil, one of our planet's greatest ever actors. I hope he's posthumously recognised by Hollywood for his performance in the Moon Landing and never letting it slip to the Russians.

Well played sir, well played.
