Fuck, we're reaching the point where these guys are gonna start dying off. Won't be long before there won't be a living person who walked on the moon.
Jeez man, the last world war one vet only died like a year ago. I know there were thousands of those but the 12 guys who walked on the moon were all incredibly fit career military, hopefully they'll hold out.
Not just them, but the Mercury and Gemini and rest of the Apollo astronauts, too. Very few casualties to date, but they're all going to start dropping like flies in the next few years.
(also, one of those 12 dudes on the surface was a scientist and not military at all)
I think Neil Armstrong is one of those oft-touted household names who truly was a household name, I highly doubt anyone doesn't know who he was or what he did

I am going to astronaut walk the rest of the night in tribute
The fact that major news networks are mentioning this in passing before returning to regular old partisan horseshit has me so angry I can't see straight.
Dang this sucks. Astronauts in general seem like chill people. Gonna yell at the moon tonight in his honor
I imagine that once you've been in fucking space, being on earth is a really chill experience. "Man, traffic's sure terrible today. Oh well, I've been to a place where I could blot out the Earth with my thumb, whatever."

The crazy thing to think about is that for one moment in time this guy had the full attention of every fucking person on the planet. All the fucking presidents and prime ministers and kings and queens in the entire fucking world literally watched his every movement with tension and excitement like a five year old watching Superman perform brain surgery.
The first HUMAN BEING in the history of ALL civilization to walk on the moon. His name will be remembered forever. Rest in peace, sir.
Seconded. He was part of one of the most incredible achievements in mankind's history. Farewell, Mr. Armstrong.
Yeah no I'm gonna say The. So far, walking on the moon was The greatest thing we have done as a species.
Man took his first flight in 1903. He landed on the moon in 1969. In the course of a single human lifespan, man lifted his feet from the earth and planted them on the dusty soil of another celestial body. It is technological advancement that is almost beyond belief.

Shit.
You know, we need to get more people on the moon. Sooner rather than later.
Why I fear the ocean.
Funny to think about a man who had a eulogy written for him just in case 40+ years before he actually died.
