Evan Burton Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 This is more news but since his exploits get often discussed here.... A very humble man who will be greatly missed. U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong, who took a giant leap for mankind when he became the first person to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82, his family said on Saturday.Armstrong died following complications from heart-bypass surgery he underwent earlier this month, the family said in a statement, just two days after his birthday on August 5. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/08/25/us-usa-neilarmstrong-idUSBRE87O0B020120825 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Knight Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 You really don't want to go on Facebook or Twitter, for this. OMG! Neil Armstrong died today. He was so young. I really loved him on "How I Met Your Mother." They were serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Burton Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 NBC announced the death of "astronaut Neil Young", and there were numerous young people asking who was this guy? Some were even saying he lost all his gold medals and now he's dead. The state of education is woeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Knight Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Seriously depressing. And it's probably only going to get worse. Especially if Romney and his "slash all public services spending to fund the military and rich people!" policy gets in. :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Knight Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Speaking of Republitar...cans. Some are calling for a State Funeral. Neil would be the first to tell them where to go and what to do there. His family are similarly aghast. And yet they're still demanding it happen.

Len Colby Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 More shabby journalism: http://jimromenesko....uts-look-alike/ Not surprised it's People magazine after all and the mistake was probably made by a photo-editor rather than a print journalist.
