I feel fortunate to have been around when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Thanks for all you did for everyone. Rest in Peace, Neil. |

It is a sad day indeed. Neil was way too young to leave this earth for the second time. Simply stated; he was a great man, a great explorer, a great American! I feel privileged to have met him (thanks to the ASF). I also plan to make a donation to the ASF in his honor. |

Not expecting this. Still remember the thrill of seeing him step on the moon for the first time. You will be missed!. |

The thought we've lost Neil Armstrong just says it all without saying any more.Rest in peace in the loving arms of your God, Mr. Armstrong. |

We mourn for a great human. I was happy enough to attend a TV talk celebrating Neil Armstrong's 80th birthday at Salzburg's Hangar-7. |

It's very sad to loose a true American icon; Armstrong's gone but he won't be forgotten... |

What an awful loss for this pale blue dot. The world is a dimmer place for the passing of a Hero in the true sense, a gentleman in all ways and a Human for all to be proud of.
Sad sad day.

From the statement published by the Armstrong family: For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink. I think that's one of the most touching and appropriate things I've ever read, and it reflects who he was perfectly. |

...I have no words for this. It's certainly very shocking. He was one of the most professional and humble people to climb onboard a rocket. |
