Neil Armstrong

I completely forgot to put up a note on the passing of Neil Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) yesterday.  A very true American hero, and great loss to the nation, and the world.

Today, it seems we almost want to forget the heroic achievements of the Space Race.  But, for all the Cold War trappings, the Moon Landings do constitute one of the highest achievements of humanity.  Something we should strive for again.  Something that humanity, as a whole, should strive for.

Wouldn't that be a fitting tribute to Neil Armstrong's legacy?
