Neil Armstrong has died at age 82:A statement from Armstrong’s family suggests his death was caused by complications of recent heart surgery. The family also left the world with this advice: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.

I posted the news on facebook, and the one real comment was "he was a very good actor."

From what I've heard there is better evidence of him being agnostic or even atheist. Nothing firm and nothing I can specifically remember, just a few general statements about his outlook on life. |
