That is genuinely sad news. On more than one level.

Let's be honest he will be one of the most relevant men in history for basically ever.
Sad he's gone though.

Glad the conspiracy types haven't flooded this thread with fake moon landing bullshit.

I went to the WNYC Radio Lab show in Seattle tonight and it was about the dark, and sight, and the last segment was dedicated to Neil Armstrong about an astronaut who was on the Mir and got stuck outside with his Cosmonaut partner, but they told a short second story about how they went up above the ship one time and he said you could see all of the stars just there, and it was like you were amongst them, he couldn't feel his suit, or anything and it was as if he was floating alone in space with just the stars. At this point in the show the entire audience held up little LED lights they gave out at the start of the show and they had a camera up front projecting it on the screen.

He was, and always will be our first traveler into a wider universe.
