Neil Alden Armstrong, 1930-2012
Inspired Mankind With One Small Step - NYTThe Atlantic Wire has my favorite quote from various obits, from the Armstrong family’s statement:
“Next time you walk outside on clear night & see moon smiling down at you, think of Neil & give him a wink”.
Of course, I also like Neil deGrasse Tyson’s take:
Apollo 11, July 1969.No other act of human exploration ever laid a plaque saying “We Come In Peace For All Mankind”
