I just read that America’s first man to walk on the moon, Neil Armstrong, has died from complications following a procedure on his heart.
I remember him saying; “Tranquility base, the Eagle has landed.” and of course the more famous; “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
RIP to an American hero, Neil Armstrong

Thanks for posting this. Not many people understand what a huge accomplishment walking on the moon is.
