OT: RIP Neil Armstrong

[UConnChapette]

Neil Armstrong has passed at the age of 82. One of my childhood heros, and the memory of laying in my sleeping bag in front of the tv watching as man first walked on the moon is one of my fondest memories.

Go on and touch the moon again, Neil.

The eagle has landed, in a better place.

Might sound weird, but I would love to see them launch his body into space. To go where no man has gone before. Rest in peace Neil Armstrong.

RIP Neil Armstrong...a true HERO. I was lucky enough to meet his fellow astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, at a celebrity race. One of the movie stars said something like "we think we're a big deal...this guy WALKED ON THE MOON!"
We talk of sports "heroes," but guys like Neil Armstrong are true heroes.
