Produced by NASA Television

Beautiful... this is Germany writing to Mr. Armstrong: Wherever you are Sir, you changed our world. Rest in Peace, you deserve it.

I had the distinct privilege of meeting him in person on the 20th Anniversary of the moon landing in 1989 in Washington, DC. It is a moment that I will remember forever.

RIP, Neil...

I adore the fact that, for the rest of its existence, the moon will have a set of footprints on it belonging to that wonderful, wonderful man and his team. No ceremony, monument or statue can be greater then those simple prints in the unmoving dirt. Its really quite an extraordinary way to remember a person, but it'll last a lot, lot longer then other monuments to people.

Quiet, humble, sincere - everything modern 'heroes' like celebrities are not.

Thank you to Neil, the other Apollo astronauts and everybody who ever worked on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo for giving us the inspiration and knowledge of what a sense of adventure can drive us to achieve.

Godspeed Neil.

I cannot believe that any Person in this Beautiful Free Blue World would ever be ready do deny that NEIL ARMSTRONG was Truthfully among the Twentieth Century's Absolutely most PROFOUND & most ever Courageous Immortal Heroes; I am PROUD to have had the Honour to once have lived in the same Heroic Pioneer Era of Manned Exploration of the Solar System Neighbourhoods of ours, I am Swedish but I am PROUD for having experienced these Golden Years that started the very same year as when I was born..!

I have always looked upon Mr. Armstrong as a true "American Hero" the epitome of greatness. Humble, reserved, quiet. The world will long remember Neil Armstrong, not the for greatness he showed albeit for the greatness he was. I still, in awe, look up at the Moon in the evening hours, and can recall vividly those ghostlike television images of a "man" setting foot upon another heavenly body, for the first time. Rest In Peace, Neil Armstrong!

One of my favorite stories about Neil Armstrong was when one day, Neil was testing out a LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) prototype called the LLRV (Lunar Landing Research Vehicle), the thing exploded and fell to the ground and burst into glames. Luckily though, Neil ejected just in time.

Later, either Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin or Jim Lovell heard the news and went go find Neil, who was sitting in an office filling out paperwork. Aldrin (or Lovell) goes to Neil and says "You almost died! For heavens and you're just sitting here casually!"

And there's Neil, sitting down at his desk doing paperwork and just nods it off and says "There's paper work to fill out"

What a badass!

Neil is greatest is super hero of 20th century, he risked his life for greatest cause to help humanity, he is so brave, he may rest in heaven, he always be remembered as noble and inspiring man

[georgepetrov]

Neil Armstrong was a man of honor and courage. Neil is the greatest man that had and ever will in history. Every night when I see the moon, I look at it for a moment, and make a salute while saying ''Rest In Peace, My Hero'' . These days not a lot of people remember this great man.I my self have Neil Armstrong's Biography from James R. Hansen .

[davebowman]

Beautiful sentiments. RIP Neil, always a hero.

[ZiggyMaes]

Not only did Neil leave a footprint on the moon, he also left one in our history. Forever. Beautiful tribute. Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon.

Even though Neil is gone his memory and spirit will live on forever on the moon and in the universe. He's the eternal astronaut. God bless you Neil Armstrong

[retrauk]

I think people in this day and age don't appreciate just how large of a feat this man accomplished. Now he's gone and there will never again be another "first man on the moon."

[jrm]

THE greatest time in America's History. Thank you and RIP, Neil.

[MikeJustDidit]

I love how this talks about Neil's selflessness. He made it about the team, and the American people. Mr. President, you could learn something from this.

Team NASA, this will be timeless and you remastered several clips of the Apollo 11 mission to HD. Beautiful touch to Honor such a Hero.

R.I.P. Neil
