As with all the other sentiments expressed, a sad day and the end of an era. A modest man of great skill and integrity.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Neil Armstrong: You will not be forgotten. Stepping on the moon was the greatest achievement of mankind and has inspired millions of people, especially myself. Thinking of you.

It does feel like the end of an era.

He took the first step, we dream to follow......RIP a true hero

I remember vividly, my mother dragging me out of bed in the early hours to watch the landing.

and the the "One small step" quote to my mind, is the most memorable out of the entire event and my life.

RIP Sir,

My mum was pregnant with me when he landed on the moon. My dad watched it all happen while my mum slept and as long as I can remember my dad used to tell me what a great year that was. Man was going to the heavens! I grew up in an age when as a kid I totally believed we would all be living in permanent bases on the moon by the end of the century. They were days of ambition when anything was possible and could be achieved if only we be believed. The words "This is one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind" must surely be one of the most memorable of the 20th century. Neil Armstrong was defiantly one of the reasons I grew up staring at the sky and wondering, "What's there?". An awesome man who will be missed. Rest in peace Neil xXx

A sad lost to NASA, probably the most well known Amercian astronaut but HE will all ways have a place in history as taking that one gaint leap for mankind.

[Hypernova]

In shock!

A truly great man who achieved so much in his life and dealt with his worldwide fame with such amazing modesty. There'll never be another one like him.

I've been outside for 20mins watching the moon peeping out between the clouds and thinking of Neil and the Apollo teams achievements. I'll give him a wink right now

What a wonderful thought. I did already Neil, bless you. I'll continue...

[Davie]

Wow, quite taken aback by this, never knew him and never met him but he is one of only a handful of people who's name would be recognized the world over.
