Very Sad! I remember as a kid watching the TV as he came down the ladder.

RIP! Go with God!

Little known fact, he flubbed the line. It was supposed to be, "One small step for a man. One giant leap for mankid:"

He of course said; "One small step for man. One giant leap for Mankid!"

At a bleak time in the history of the United States, we had Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin!

He was the right man for The moment. A true hero and pioneer. He never tried to profit....amazing thing in these days.

Watched his first step. Incredible moment.

The 60's were such turbulent times. The world came together to watch that leap for mankind.

Saddened by his death.

Stephen Ambrose ('and Of Brothers' fame) met with Armstrong to write his life story. Unfrtuately, Ambrose died of Pancreatic Cancer before he had a chance to write it. He was on NPR maybe 10 years ago talking about it before his death. He said what an incredible man that Neil Armstrong was.

He could have cashed in on his fame, but never did. If this happened now with anyone else. There wold be a best selling book, a blockbuster movie, action figures, appearances on EVERY talk show! (Oprah would do a Prime-Time special.)

One thing that is over looked about Armstrong. He flew just about every jet there was. Even flew the X-15 space plane.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I only used it because it’s being said he can’t.  I’ve said this 100 times already but these deep passes people get obsessed with are much more on the WR than the QB. If Burrow throws a bomb to Chase and he is either wide open or makes a catch in tight coverage those both are more WR plays than QB to me.  Bryce has shown many flaws but I don’t think throwing the ball 20 yards to a player in coverage is something he or any NFL QB can’t do. He just gets sloppy under pressure and tries some Mahomes type backfoot throws that do require elite arm strength in which he does not have.

      Again with the straw man arguments. You have Trump level of delusions about this subject.  Here, let me do you in this case.... I don't know if AT fuged your girl or your wife or whatever but your level of hatred towards a guy not even on the team is insane. I can't believe you keep hate watching all these Vikings games as a result. It's crazy behavior but, by all means, you do you.   Now...see how nutty that sounds? Go read this thread and see how emotional you are over something no one in this thread is talking about emotionally.
