Astronaut and American icon Neil Armstrong, the first person ever to set foot on the moon, has died at the age of 82.
Armstrong, who stepped onto the lunar surface on July 20, 1969 as commander of NASA's Apollo 11 mission, died Saturday (Aug. 25). The news was first reported by NBC News and confirmed in a statement by the Armstrong family. He had undergone a cardiac bypass operation on Aug. 7, two days after his 82nd birthday.

He was a man who stepped on to the moon. He was the leader of expansion to the moon. And then he died....
:(
I've heard some people who don't believe about the moon going.

We will all remember him. His footprints will never be forgoten (both ways).

That's a real shame. He was a hero for millions.
I have a guy in my class who strongly reckons it was a myth. He says: "It was just a satillite, no people, they just used Photoshop. He's not the brightest bulb on the tree.
