death of a hero

Today, Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, lunar explorer extraordinaire, died.


There are no words I can sum up now but I think the video below accurately sums up my feelings regarding the lunar landing and Neil Armstrong. Why it was such a big step for humanity, an act that remains one of the top greatest events ever in our history, one that stretched the boundaries of the human soul past our planetary confines to the moon..and eventually beyond. 



to find more about Neil Amstrong, Yahoo for once, has a good article about his life and achievements. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/neil-armstrong-moon-mystery-man-022250193.html

I don't know if the world, if america, has truly realized who and what we lost today. Its wasn't just a man but a hopeful perspective, a desire for exploration, for optimism, for belief in humanity.
