To Absent Friends: Neil Armstrong


One of the best quotes I read yesterday when reading about the death of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, was "As long as history books are written, Neil Armstrong will be in them."

If you were alive in the summer of 1969, you remember the excitement and sense of sheer wonder and amazement that Neil Armstrong and his Apollo 11 crew (Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins) and all of the people at NASA gave to the world.  Nothing I can write can fully describe it.  As his family requested, let's all go out an "wink at the moon" in his memory and to honor him.

RIP Neil Armstrong.
