And to think I got a chance to see him in person that summer of 1969, so it must have been early August. Surreal feeling to see three men who had visited another planet in the motorcade in Chicago. Yes, he was and is a legend and is already missed. Good tribute.

very nice. He will be missed. I started to this title and at first I came thinking of Neil Diamond but he’s got to be younger.

Neil Armstrong’s feat, along with his fellow astronauts who stepped on the moon, was a man who experienced something that I believe writing cannot ever fully capture. If one had heard him speak of his journey to the moon, but had not known that he had gone to the moon, it would have seemed as though he was speaking nonsense, at least in my opinion. Perhaps that is one reason why he often refused to do interviews.
