Like many people (my age), I have mixed emotions about Neil Armstrong's death. For us, he lived a life that we could only dream of, and it was a long life. From reading what Neil wrote and others that have commented on his life, he deserved every second of the opportunities provided to him and the fame that went along with it. He worked hard and was a hell of a pilot. I recall an interview many years after the incident where he was training on the LM flight simulator, when the interviewer asked Neil, "after what happened, did you really go to your office and sit at your desk and do paperwork?" Neil replied, "why yes I did", and the reporter said, "but you almost died!" Neil just smiled and said, "but I didn't." Dang, what a man! So, he was smart, courageous, and certainly talented. Some might disagree with me here, but I think there are people like Neil that are just as talented and they just need the chance. I think that what Neil and many other past astronauts would want most is for the USA to be courageous and carry on our exploration of space, and I think it would serve their memory best to do just that. Just my 2 cents. Richard On Mon, Aug 27, 2012 at 9:20 PM, Jeff Gortatowsky <indanapt@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: No matter where Neil is buried. He, I, and you, for that matter, will return to space.
