Stupid shit NBC -- calls him "Neil Young" in the title. Also, the article is terrible with all sorts of errors.

RIP, Neil.

RIP, Neil.

They fixed it now. I hope that idiot reporter gets slapped down. I met Neil Armstrong a couple of times after he'd retired from NASA. RIP

If he was the USADA should repeal his title and award Buzz Aldrin "1st Man on the Moon".

Wow.. RIP. :'(

Armstrong underwent a heart-bypass surgery earlier this month, just two days after his birthday on August 5, to relieve blocked coronary arteries.

Neil Armstrong was so legit, he won the Tour De France in the HUMAN RACE.

RIP American Hero\Hero for all people. They seem fewer and farther in-between nowadays.

I'm sure it was written by a journalism major, half of whom are incredibly idiotic, it seems.

Who wasn't born yet when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

We can only assume he will continue to make significant steps in another realm... It is never farewell forever, just see you again someday...

That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind

A great man.

Indeed, NASA and JPL had to push hard to get the Apollo program done in a small amount of time, the technology worked but most of the systems were probably not tested to the length they would have liked to so it involved a lot of risk, it still amazes me the computers used for navigation and decent/ascent trajectories were less powerful than a Commodore 64..
