Two threads started the same minute: http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f34/rip-neil-armstrong-910987/.
Very sad.
Very sad.
A true hero to everyone who dreamed of being an astronaut as a kid. Each one of us tried to live up to him in our own way.
That's too bad. I barely remember the moon landing because I was just a kid back then, but I do remember how exciting it was, and I think it was also being televised in public schools as well. The Apollo 11 made history in a big way.
RIP Neil with much respect.

Absolute :-(. There are so few people in this world who can say they were the very first to do something. Neil Armstrong certainly could. So precious few have been able to bring the world together, if only for a little bit. For that one supreme "giant leap" of a moment, Neil Armstrong did. I hope future generations can understand what he meant to this world.

"that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Those of us who were lucky enough to be alive to witness Neil Armstrong take humanity's first steps on another world will never forget it. It was one of those defining moments in history, and technology had advanced enough by then for the whole world to share in it.
RIP, Neil Armstrong. In the end you were a man, a real man.

Every single time I look up at the moon, it never ceases to make me think "Wow....people have WALKED on that!". Amazing.
Astronauts = Balls Of Steel.
A name that will be remembered 1,000 years from now.

High Flight
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew -
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
