I am so sorry to hear that. So many undeserving people are referred to as legends, but he was a real legend.

US astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the Moon, has died at the age of 82, US media report.

Earlier this month he had surgery to relieve blocked coronary arteries.

He walked on the Moon on 20 July 1969, famously describing the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind".

Last November Armstrong, along with three other astronauts, received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest US civilian award.

He was the commander of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. He and fellow astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin spent nearly three hours walking on the moon.

A truly great American. A name that will live forever. I'm sure most people would love to have even half a legacy as great as this man. His name will live on in history books for all time.

Rest in Peace Neil Armstrong.

He never was on the bloody moon :devil:

RIP though :(

Iceman 26-08-2012 02:02 AM

I reckon he should be considered as one of the only legends.... the word is thrown around too much.....this man actually stood on a different planet. All these years later it's still remarkable..... I will give a wink to the moon tonight if I see it.

:worship:

Ramsay 26-08-2012 03:07 AM

found this out earlier when i was f-ed up with my friends but we all raised our cans/bottles/glasses/ to a legend. R.I.P an absolute hero that will and has gone down in history.
