Sο Neil Armstrong died...

...τα παπαρια μου!

[barouti]

Whilst I offer my condolences to the Armstrong family, I don't believe he ever stepped on the moon.

Go back to your cave!

Am not keen on encouraging Mr Ed but please enlighten me as to why he should go back to his cave?

At least 200 people were killed in the Mid. East on the same day.
What exactly makes his death such a "sad" event?
What was his contribution to mankind? Did he stop wars and injustices? Or reduced the daily deaths of infants in Africa due to lack of basics? How many children would have been saved with the money spent for his "expedition" to the moon?

Because he doesn't believe that anyone actually landed on the moon. He is a caveman!

In a nutshell, his courage and profession inspired mankind in general in many aspects. The amount of knowledge that is gathers by "space people" has had tremendous benefit to all of us here on earth, from technology to medicine. Some have even given their lives in trying. No one man can do all the things you have listed above, or even a nation for that matter!

That only makes him a sceptic...

But why are you so readily to reprimand him regarding if man did indeed land on the moon, actually make reference to him to being primitive (which I actually don't doubt btw) and yet say nothing when he blathers on and on that Kypreoi aren't ethically Greek? If you accept that man has landed on the moon than you shouldnt you also know that Cyprus was colonized by Greeks and be the first to call Mr Ed a "caveman" for doubting this? But you don't, do you? Why is that? )

Neil Armstrong takes one last small step off the earth, and one giant leap into heaven. R.I.P

Thank you Theodosia... well said and put.

Absolutely Kiks, these were tremendously brave boys, as anyone who has got up close to a Saturn 5 or looked at the specs, the thin-ness of the enclosing metal, no thicker than a can of cola can testify.... and these brave astronauts were sitting on top of one of the most remarkably complicated and tremendously powerful machines ever built with the equivalent power of a nuclear bomb.

A reminder that three astronauts lost their lives during the ground tests of the Apollo programme which just goes to show the extent of the bravery of those that followed them to the Moon.

Bos and Girls...No price can be placed on Human Bravery leading to Exploration and Human Endeavour cos without these we'd still be sitting in Caves or in Kafenia or Pubs getting no further than contemplating doing things.

A reminder also that Apollo 8, the mission that got close to the Moon (without landing on Xmas Day 1968) had a unintended but Massive Effect on the Course of Human History, on each and every single one of us, with a value beyond pricing, but being weary of spoon-feeding you scabby lot will leave you to figure that one out.

Welcome He was well known before his mission to the moon.
The thing is we don't always know what will come from a mans thoughts, a mans vision, or mans idea (or woman)
