1St Man On Moon Neil Armstrong Dead At Age 82

[billyblade]

I'm skeptical about this landing. Perhaps NASA should clear up this dilemma once and for all.

However, if it was not true, the Russians could say something (do not forget that the Cold War was then).

 

Sometimes, when people will look to the moon, it's possible to remember about Neil and his mission.

 

Rest in Peace Mr. Armstrong.

 

PS: Please forgive me if I offended anyone with my opinion.

 

Well, there were several thousand folks - NASA employees, government employees, military, and contractors - involved. 3 people cannot keep a secret. Several thousand? Fuggedaboutit. One of the more important things that the folks who went to the moon did was to set up a mirror on the surface. Scientists on earth can point a laser to it, and measure the time it takes for the reflection to bounce back. That way we can know the precise distance to the moon, amongst other things. I've seen this in action and it's quite cool. There is no question that we have been to the moon. Other info:

And Neil Armstrong is a true pioneer, like Columbus, Cabot, Vespucci and so many others. A friend of mine and his daughter got to meet him personally recently. His daughter is the youngest person to discover a supernova. Because of this they were invited to an astronomy conference on the Canary Islands, and Mr. Armstrong was there in a rare public appearance. It's frustrating that we haven't been back to the moon in over 40 years. The last surviving lunar astronauts are aged 77-82.

nice grouping astronomer...very nice!
