Neil Armstrong RIP
That's one small step for man...One giant leap for mankind.
Unless it was all a hoax. RIP good sir.

Re: Neil Armstrong RIP
RIP Mr Armstrong.
The first man on the moon or the first to walk in a studio cleverly made to look like the surface of the moon? Who knows? |

Re: Neil Armstrong RIP
I prefer to believe in human achievement. Shame his life is over.

Re: Neil Armstrong RIP
Do people really believe there was a hoax? Jeez.
I find the courage of these men to be incredible. The had the biggest audience the word had ever seen and things could have gone badly wrong. I still wonder what would have happened if things had gone wrong - they'd landed but used too much fuel so that they could not get home again. Would they have explored until their supplies ran out? Taken cyanide? |

RIP to probably one of the last true pioneers.
Strapping yourself to a missle guided by a computer with less power than a Nintendo Gameboy and heading off at thousands of miles an hour into the unkniwn takes some balls.

Re: Neil Armstrong RIP
RIP
If only we had more people like this on he planet, true heroes. Sadly as we loose people like this society is going to spawn more mindless retards who idolize so called celebrities for doing nothing. I just hope the press give him a decent send off and put it on the front pages instead of `breaking news - Jordan has a new boyfriend` |

Re: Neil Armstrong RIP
Sad day.
It makes you feel quite old when your boyhood heros die.
