One small step for a man. One giant leap for mankind.

A true hero of the human race. Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong, your endevour will never be forgotten.

I echo the comments of others, a very sad loss indeed.

He shall not grow old, nor the memory shall grow old. when the likes of the United States have passed into the dusts of History people will still remember Neil Armstrong and what he achieved.
We will remember him

I remember being facinated by the Apollo programme, followed it from Apollo 8 onwards, the Moon landings just amazing. RIP.

 

[Butts]

I also remember the Moon Landings in 1969...how they managed that with less computing power than the average laptop ....amazing.

40 years since a moon landing we seem to be going backwards ...Concorde as well a relic.

Stange how things span out

RIP, one of the three gents at the forefront of what is, in my eyes, mankind's greatest ever achievement.

It's sad to see on Facebook the memorial pages being hijacked by the fools who think it was faked.

When the space programme was in full swing N.A.S.A. employed 400,000 people.

20,000 different firms were involved,and hundreds of Universities

Do these idiots really believe that every last one of these people are keeping quiet.

Anybody who could come up with anything that proves it was all a fake would be a millionaire immediately.

It is one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories of the lot.

R5 gave air time to a bloke yesterday who said no rocket had ever left earth and he'd never ever met anybody who believed we went to the moon.

I wouldn't say we are going backwards. Technology has changed beyond recognition since 1969. We're on the verge of getting Nuclear Fusion to work, we have technology now they couldn't even dream of back then.

That's the thing with conspiracy theories, people believe them in complete contradiction of all the evidence. It reminds me of religion.

Very easy to prove we had been on the moon, when you can bounce a laser off it...

I wonder if he signed a recent petition...
