Who was he again?
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

sorry to hear about that, a real action hero to any boy growin up in the sixties, like me and a gentleman later in life
the whole school stopped to watch him step on the moon, we watched it on a fuzzy old black and white TV, then we were all astronauts in the playground, for days after, forever probably in my heart
He encouraged us to have big dreams and believe they could come true, even that one day we would fly in space, it is hard today for people to understand the audacity and excitement of what that moon mission did and how it changed the world, especially for little kids like me then. Suddenly, in the middle of the Cold war and with the horror of the Vietnam war on TV every night, the world was full of hope and new horizons. They were great days, I'll never forget them.

Pity...
didn´t they say, just a few days ago, that he was recovering from a surgery?
Seems like it was too much for his body

Armstrong died Saturday following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures, a statement from his family said. It didn't say where he died.

The article that I read noted how as he went down the ladder to the moon's surface, he stopped and took one step up, just to make sure he could.
I don't know if that was planned or he just thought of it, but I wouldn't have thought about it.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Sad news
Watched his landing on telly back then - pretty good fuel for young boys fantasy.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Here's the speech that was prepared for the President in the event that they couldn't launch from the moon:
"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
