Rest in peace Neil Armstrong. A name you hear and respect from a very young age.

A really sad day for exploration, what he did when stepping into pretty much the unknown (NASA hadn't tested most of its equipment thoroughly because of time constraints.) is up there in my mind with the explorers in the 1600's.
RIP, the world has lost a true icon and rolemodel.

OMG. 
I think something in me just died, too. He was one of the heroes I grew up with. I have tears in my eyes now.

RIP. I think the best way to honour his legacy would be to send more men to the moon and beyond.

RIP. Can only imagine what it must've felt like to watch the lunar landings live.

Armstrong family statement: "Next time you walk outside on clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil and give him a wink." Beautiful thing to say.

There's now one less man who has walked on another world. Such a terrible loss for all of humanity.
I'm drinking to you tonight, Neil.

It's a sad day for humanity when a inspiring legend passes away.
I recall the moment when I first watched footage of Apollo 11 and realized what they had done and the meaning of Mr. Armstrong's words on the Moon.
Somewhere in the future, we may look at the commercial center that space will be at the time and remember fondly of those who were brave and intrepid, those that set the bar higher than ever before and managed to accomplish their dreams.
The world lost a hero, but the legend still stands.

I got quite a shock seeing this headline, and I guess it shows just how long ago now Apollo all took place.
RIP to someone who will forever be one of the most inspirational and recognisable people in history.
