Neil Armstrong passed away

It's definitely sad to hear that he passed away. He's one of America's greatest heros and will not soon be forgotten!

Yes,I came to know about his demise last night while watching news on tv.The news reminded me of the day in 1969 when he had landed on the moon.I was too young a child then to understand the significance of the great event of the century.My parents told me all about this.Years later when I grew as a teenager I could understand the importance of the event. Armstrong represented the most significant incident of the last century.I wish his soul rests in peace.Human race will never forget that great man.He would always remain alive in our memory.

I think he was 81 years old, right? I read an e-mail that he had passed away while I was having a cup of coffee, this afternoon. The ironic thing is that today we attended a birthday party for my Great-Uncle Bill, and he just turned 80. Amazing! He hasn't changed a day since he was 60!! Anyway, Neil was only a year older than Uncle Bill, and 9 years younger than my Grandma, who just turned 90. Such a shame that good people can't live forever.

Honestly, he was a hero to me all the time. I didn't care where he was, just to know that he could be so famous and so humble was well worth being a hero in my book.

Indeed, it is sad to hear the first man landed on the moon had passed away. At that time, i was haven't born yet. Even both my parents are still very young. It is an event worth to be remembered forever as how Neil willing to take the challenge to be the first person on the moon.

everybody in this planet and our history will remember him forever and ever,he was the hero.when i was a child i aready knew the story of him and i believe a lot people just like me,want to be a astronaut. everybody will not forget this sentence :that's one small step for a man on giant leap for mankind

It is really sad to know that. I came to know of this here only, in my world devoid of tv and news (for few people use net to get headlines) He was really a legend and actually some years ago I would have been shocked to know he was still alive. Lack of knowledge and all that.... Again, sad news. May his soul rest in peace. But where is this "discussion" going?

I think most everyone knows this guy and I especially since I live just about an hour and a half south of where he is from. I have a friend who lives in Wapakoneta now and she posted about it on FB last night...

Well, a hero has a pass away. I have heard of the news early today. But I am sure that his name will not be forgotten in history. He was able to accomplish a task that only few can ever do and was the first one to do such. May his soul rest in peace and may accomplishment be always remembered.

This is really sad. But his name remains a legend forever. His body may gone, but his name and contribution in this life will be cherished forever and will be on the pages of every hero who did great things on earth.

Yes, he had made a history being the first man to step on the moon. The news said, he is a very humble person and remains at that even after their lunar flight.I'm sure he will be remembered for his achievement same with Edwin Aldrin, the other Astronaut with him.

I have the same feelings.His name will be engraved in our hearts for ever.

Yes, its shocking. I read about him when I was a kid. I got inspired by his well known words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Today when I opened the newspaper, I was in for a bitter shock. He had heart surgery several weeks ago, and was ill. May he rest in peace.

Sad to hear but one day everyone have to go from this world.And what he achieved at his time no one was there like him at that time.And he was the hero of that time.

hi youless I missed that wow,I did not think he was that old'but i s ure remember when he walked on the moon and made history he was the hero of that time for sure.

i just tell you that Neil Amstrong is well-known not only in USA.. he makes everyone want to be astronaut.. everyone wants to learn about space... even there are doubt about the story about him and landing in the month,many people doesn`t care..they still admire Neil Amstrong as one of the hero for the mankind and science

It is always sad to hear a good guy pass away. May he rest in peace.

I have the same feelings.His name will be engraved in our hearts for ever.

ya for sure that is really hurting and sad,to hear,one of the finest man of the century and with great achievements is no more
