    One of the few icons of the 20th century, a truly brave man who will be remembered forever.

    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

    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.

    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.

    My sentiments exactly which I have expressed in G & D.

    I truly don't feel sad, I'm blessed that we got to share in his life.

    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...

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

    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.

    Icon

    Appears to have been a very modest man not interested in the trappings of fame. Godspeed and R.I.P.
