RIP. Thank you to an American Hero who brought those of us old enough to remember, one of the most remarkable moments in our lives!
Come on guys! Get real. Then why can we still see the flags (in pics taken recently) they left behind & know which ones are still standing. Gee wizz. I guess we don't have a Rover on Mars either huh?

Just got back from T/A Nats in Dayton. On the drive back I drove past Wapokentta, Ohio; his home town. From I-75 you can see the Neil Armstrong museum and I just felt compelled salute as I passed it by. Found out the news checking facebook of all things during Tipp City and half the people around me refused to believe it even though I showed 'em the news.
Quite sobering since driving down to Nats I get giddy seeing the museum and the mockups of the Apollo command module sitting there as a gate guardian. |

I can't believe this guy's passing is largely being ignored. The media has hardly mentioned it.

THIS IS A DISGUSTING DISGRACE
I just looked at the front page of CNN AND THERE IS NOT JACK SH--T ABOUT the death of Neil Armstrong except for a little BLURB under the OPINION SECTION AND THE PERSON WHO WROTE THE ARTICLE IS A FREAKING FILM CRITIC.
THIS MAN IS BEING TREATING LIKE COMPLETE SH---T. I CANT F---G BELIEVE THIS. HE DIED ON SATURDAY AND ON MONDAY HE IS SOME KIND OF AFTERTHOUGHT? THIS JUST PROVES ALL ALONG THAT HIS SITUATION WITH THE "MOON LANDING" MUST BE CONSIDERED SOME KIND OF OBVIOUS JOKE. HOW THE F---K CAN HE BE COMPLETELY IGNORED LIKE THIS? FIRST MAN ON THE MOON??? THIS IS UNREAL. HE IS BEING SWEPT UNDER THE RUG LIKE HE DIDN'T EVEN EXIST. ITS LIKE CNN IS SAYING-----> THE REASON WE HAVE A FILM CRITIC WRITING ABOUT NEIL ARMSTRONG IS BECAUSE THAT IS THE CATEGORY THIS FALLS UNDER. AS IF TO SAY----> NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS AN ACTOR ....THAT'S WHY THE ARTICLE IS WRITTEN BY A FILM CRITIC. THIS IS CRAP. |

Thank you ragtop! Maybe if Snookie gets arrested pregnant and drunk while running naked on the beach screaming "ARMSTRONG!!!!" the man might get a little more attention. I have some friends at WBBM and the Tribune, I'm going to bust their ass bigtime for this blunder! |
