Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, has passed away at 82. America has lost the greatest leader of the Space Age. Armstrong's words are immortal: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Armstrong led America against the Soviets in the moon race. When he stepped on lunar dust on July 20, 1969, he fulfilled John F. Kennedy’s promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the 1960’s. Apollo 11 left a plaque which read, “We Came in Peace for All Mankind.” It reflects humanity’s aspiration for peace throughout the cosmos.
Armstrong will be sorely missed.
