Neil Armstrong – RIP

Yesterday we lost a man who will forever be engraved in history; Neil Armstrong passed away at the age of 82 in Cincinnati, Ohio following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures. 

Famous for being the first man to walk on the moon giving birth to the phrase “one giant leap for mankind”, many have come forward to give their condolences as well as say a couple words in honor o Armstrong’s achievements. One of them being Nasa Chief Charles Bolden, “As long as there are history books, Neil Armstrong will be included in them,” said Charles Bolden. “As we enter this next era of space exploration, we do so standing on the shoulders of Neil Armstrong. We mourn the passing of a friend, fellow astronaut and true American hero.”

Armstrong had the opportunity to take 2 trips in to space, the first one in 1966 as commander of the Gemini 8 mission, which was of no success and the second one in 1969, being one of the most recorded dates in history

WE SAID THIS: RIP Neil Armstrong
