Oh the memories . Anyone here remember him . He was the first man to walk on the moon . He was a true hero and his memory will not be forgotten .

I was 5 when he walked on the moon. I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. He was one of my heros.

I wasn’t even a blip on the radar when the moon landing was made, but as a young wild-eyed space nut I read everything I could get my hands on about that mission. I still consider the moon landing to be one of the greatest achievements of modern times. Those astronauts had incredible courage: I mean, think about it, they went to the moon in what today looks more like a Model T Ford than a spaceship. Sure, it was the best technology of the time, but the margin for error was so small and they knew it. But they went anyway, and they succeeded.
