"That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."

I know some may see it as a waste of money but I have to say that I agree with the man.

first person to walk on another planetary body, I hope they send his ashes to outer space

As young boys I think we all wanted to be astronauts when we grew up. I truly inspirational man whose courage showed no limits. In fact all three of the crew on that mission.

Odd to think I have more computer power in my phone than they used to get to the moon and back.

... I remember well - sitting up the whole night to watch the 'Moon Landing' back in the summer of 1969. ... what a truly REMARKABLE feat - described at the time, as "A GIANT STEP FORWARD FOR MANKIND" - AND HOW! !

RIP, Neil Armstrong ... we salute you!

Isn't it JUST! INCREDIBLE, really! Funnily enough ... a friend of mine mentioned something like that to me this very afternoon ... well ... ... ... he said there was probably more computer power in Myrna's laptop than had been used on that epic space mission!

Yes. I have seen divers in the North Sea go into saturation in hyperbaric chambers for several weeks at a time, to venture into the murky depths, but these astronauts really put themselves on the line.
