Astronaut Neil Armstrong Has Died

Posted by timothy on from the he-had-a-very-good-run dept.

dsinc writes "Neil Armstrong, first man on the Moon, has died. NBC News broke the news, without giving other details. Neil was recovering from a heart-bypass surgery he had had a couple of weeks ago. Sad news, marking the end of a glorious and more optimistic era... RIP, Neil." Also at Reuters.

    The first man to walk in a California studio mocked up to look like the moon!! A great actor that will be sorely missed.
