Off Topic but Very Relevant Message #1 Posted by Richard Garner on 25 Aug 2012, 4:37 p.m. Neil Armstrong past away today after complications from cadiovascular surgery this past week. He was 82 years old. The moon is a much lonelier place now.

Re: Off Topic but Very Relevant Message #3 Posted by Les Koller on 25 Aug 2012, 5:31 p.m., in response to message #1 by Richard Garner Just got the news on FaceBook and added a tribute to him and the Apollo 11 Mission. I was just under 7 years old when this happened. I was glued to the TV, along with an estimated TWENTY PERCENT of the entire earth's population. He is the first hero I remember having, after my Dad. RIP Neil.

Re: Off Topic but Very Relevant Message #4 Posted by Namir on 25 Aug 2012, 6:18 p.m., in response to message #3 by Les Koller I remember being on vacation in Beirut, Lebanon, when Apollo 11 landed on the moon. To celebrate that even I went to see Stanley Kubrick's movie Space Odyssey. I saw a video tape of the landing on the moon, as Lebanon TV did not have direct feed to the moon landing. Namir
