Even if he was not the first man on the moon, his name made maned space travel famous and popular.

You will be missed. :(

A very sad day.

I remember sitting on the living room floor at 3 o'clock in the morning watching him land on the moon.

He always kept things to himself, a true ambassador for the space program.

Rest in peace.

In celebration of this mans life, my favourite quote of his........

“I am, and ever will be, a white-sock, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer,â€

Armstrong told a gathering at the National Press Club.

only found out an hour ago from my brother in law, what an amazing thing to be the first to step onto another world, his family should be very proud.

A huge loss, but his name is one that will be remembered for years to come, maybe even millenia.

The BBC have just announced the death of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon.

Although men don't live forever, his legacy will.

Those grainy images and the classic line he delivered from the surface of the Moon will never fade from history.

RIP Neil.
