Anyone else going to miss this man? I know I will. He is a true inspiration to many.

I never Neil Armstrong. I deeply respect his inclination to privacy as much as his lunar accomplishment.

I’ve twice met “Buzz” Aldrin. On one occasion, we shared local radio air time.

I’ve unbounded respect for his ’69 innate computational superiority over the navigational computers on ’11.

Frankly, Aldrin’s ever since been just an attention whore.

Never in the same class as Mr. Armstrong.

Been up close, and seen it. Don’t bother telling me otherwise. You weren’t there.

43 years ago he had 50% chance of surviving, yesterday he died.

Actually, Armstrong said he had a 50% chance of successfully completing the mission. The chance of dying, he estimated at 10%. The other 40% chance of failure would involve problems where they would not have been able to land on the moon, but would have been able to survive (as happened to Apollo 13).

Rohan,

Would you like to pay for that? Besides, he was a man who, perhaps, made his greatest contributions back here on Earth. And let’s not forget he has left behind many family members…back here on Earth.

Sean. How can we realistically persuade NASA to send his ashes to the moon?
Can you help here?

43 years ago he had 50% chance of surviving, yesterday he died. We pay a much deserved homage to Neil Armstrong http://brabbu.com/blog/2012/08/and-the-next-time-you-look-at-the-moon/

Perhaps it should be added that the inspiring things that need doing now include real science – unmanned missions such as the Mars mission Curiosity – but not manned missions.

When you really think about it; he’s seen and experienced things that generation after generation will never get a chance to see or experience. Myself, my kids, my grand kids, and their kids; will probably never get the chance to see and feel what he felt. Maybe one day they’ll have regular trips to the moon, but it won’t be for a very long time. And when they finally do, it won’t be as ballsy as flying up there in the tupperware containers they did it in. It used to be that you could compare the computational power of the Apollo spacecraft to a digital watch, but even modern digital watches are more powerful.

An impressive man achieving impressive goals.
