I'm a copy editor at a medium-market daily newspaper. At this moment, we're putting the Sunday paper together. The senior copy editor in charge of selecting stories for A section is not sure whether we'll put the Neil Armstrong story in the front section (forget the front page) or just throw it back with the other B section obituaries.
I wanna slap her upside the head. Fuck! No offense to the late Michael Jackson -- whose death was above-the-fold front-page news around the world -- but Armstrong is a titan whose name will be remembered for thousands of years and whose passing should be noted with sober respect and appreciation.
In short, Dead moon-walker gets the front page ... first man on the moon, well, we'll see ...

They were rocketed into space to land on a largely unknown moon and really had no idea what was going to happen. You know there was a certain amount of uncertainty of actually being able to come back or not but they still went.
Definitely the biggest balls of anyone in history. RIP Mr. Armstrong.

Mr. Armstrong was a phenomenal person long before setting foot on the moon. His life and achievements are a testament to his dedication, hard work, and ability maintain a calm, collected sense in times of danger. Humanity needs more men like him and he will be greatly missed.1993 Laguna M50 "Helen"
