US astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on the Moon, has died at the age of 82, US media report.

Earlier this month he had surgery to relieve blocked coronary arteries.

He walked on the Moon on 20 July 1969, famously describing the event as "one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind".

Last November Armstrong, along with three other astronauts, received the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest US civilian award.

I was one of the 500 million that watched the landing on T.V., and I'll tell you, it was exciting to say the least.
One of the things in life you will never forget, "where were you when...."

It is indeed a sad loss for the human race.


RIP Commander Armstrong.

Peace,
Cy
