Neil Armstrong has died aged 82. Dr Plait states it more eloquently than me.

RIP Mr Armstrong, a true legend.

Yes a legend and an incredibly brave man.

I liked the statement from the family too.

Quote"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

Many thanks from (ordinary) humans.

Yes, beyond the simple words of thank you Neil! RIP!

The man who inspired a generation and took us from homo sapiens terrestrialis to homo sapiens cosmos.

I like that phrase. Long may he live in our collective memory.

RIP Neil

Rest in Peace? Seriously???

Neil, don't listen to these people! You've a whole new realm to explore! PLEASE! Get out there and EXPLORE!!! That's what God made you for!

And know that we poor, Earth bound folks miss you.
