    A loss for " all mankind." RIP Mr. Armstrong.

    Every now and then an event happens that screams at me "you're getting old". This is one of them.

    The saddest part is that after that momental achievement, the manned space program fell on its behind.
    I sincerely hope I get to witness a human setting foot on Mars in my lifetime.

    Wars are more attractive than something that can help all of mankind.

    Hero is a word that has become devalued over the past few years. Neil Armstrong was one of the few that could truly be descibed as a proper hero.

    Hey hey hey! What about Drake and Lady Gaga? This comment was meant as a social commentary as to what most people see as "heroes" nowadays

    Yes, Lady GagGag. A real treasure.

    There's almost no art left in popular music anymore.
