Neil Armstrong

I just found out Neil Armstrong died at age 82. This is so sad. Armstrong has always been kind of a hero of mine. When I was in kindergarten I wanted to become and astronaut, and I thought I was going to be the first person to land on Pluto. I used to read astronomy books for fun, and I thought it was amazing that Neil Armstrong got to walk on the moon. The words "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed," always give me goosebumps. I wasn't alive for the moon landing, and I wish I could have witnessed it. I'm sure July 20, 1969 was an amazing day for humanity. I still think Neil Armstrong is an amazing man, and I'm very sad that he's no long with with us. Armstrong's family said, "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." Neil Armstrong will be missed.
