I cant beleive it! Neil was almost a god to me growing up during the Apollo years. He is a centerpiece in my childhood memories. Damn I 'm going to miss him.

I hope you are off making massive new discoveries where ever you are Neil! Godspeed!

Very sad day, and we still have not made it back to the moon.

Very sad indeed.
Yesterday on a whim i bought two prepainted no glue models of the LEM and commcap, surprisingly good detail and accuracy considering.
Now they have a very sad memory attached to them, i wont be able to look at them without remembering i got them the day he died

NO EFFIN WAY!

RIP Neil - You were always an absolute real hero of virtually every boy and many a girl. I just don't think I can do justice to such a life - which was pretty stellar long before he hit the moon!

A good patriotic military man to the end - an enigma too, he had that total lack of care for fame and publicity. Nothing he ever did was for fame or fortune but only for his love of flying and his love of the United States.
It is not often I am moved to tears over a death but their a bit blurry right now for sure and that's fine with me.

The funny thing is that now Neil has died, can you imagine how assured his place in the history of humanity is?

I like he had some Scottish roots too but that doesn't matter. What a worthy man to look up to.

A hero for not only for America but the whole world. He must have been a most extraordinary man. Check out Tom Wolfe's description of him in "The Right Stuff" as the inscrutable coolest of the cool, a fascinating enigma even to fellow test pilots who were themselves noted for maintaining an even strain.

RIP Neil.
