He'll be happy amongst the stars... RIP.
One of the few icons of the 20th century, a truly brave man who will be remembered forever.
The right stuff
A hero of the 20th century. Rest in peace, Neil.
A truly memorable moment for mankind recorded for posterity RIP.
Just watching this on sky news, shocked but as said, a true hero for the world.
Just told the wife, and she replied "who is he?".
I said are you taking the piss? She realised in the end.
RIP
Rest In Peace, Neil.
Heroic icon. Humble man.
A figure that will cast a huge shadow in history. We should feel humble that we lived in his time. A great and significant loss.
RIP. One of my heros who I always admired.
Sad to hear this.
RIP.
A true hero. Thank you Neil for the inspiration you gave to a 7 year old me.
Really sad to hear this.
My work phone is a Motorola Aura celestial edition and it has NASA sound bytes for ring tones etc. every time I get a voicemail, Neil Armstrong says his "One small step..." phrase so it'll be a little strange hearing it several times a day now.
RIP Neil Armstrong. A reluctant hero but a great one.
Just woke up and saw the news. Very sad to hear that a great man has passed on. Speedy on for the day in memoriam of one of last centuries true heros.
My thoughts and Prayers are with his family RIP
This really is terribly sad :-( He was a genuine legend in a world sorely lacking in legends. His and his colleagues achievements will last as long as mankind exists. He will always be the man who started our exploration of the stars. To infinity, and beyond...
Sad to hear
there are now 5 seperate threads running on this currently
A great and modest man, who inspired anybody with imagination.

I always found it unusual that he stayed so much in the background.

THIN is the new BLACK
An Icon, if ever there was.
well remember watching that moment, live on a friends new colour TV as an awe struck 8 year old.
I suppose history will call that time the early space exploration era or something, glad I was there to see it though.

R.I.P. Neil Armstrong will never forget watching those images in TV.
