Oh my, I'm heartbroken. We have lost a true American hero. R.I.P. Mr. Armstrong. I'll never forget watching you take the first step on the lunar surface that long ago July day.

Just read about it.

CNN reporting that his family says that he died at age 82.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Armstrong. I will never forget watching your first step on the moon on live TV.

Neil Armstrong actually grew up in my town. I've grown up going to the church he always attended with his family, I know where his grandparents lived, all sorts of things. There's a museum dedicated to him and space exploration, and we always have a Moon Festival every summer. A huge loss for all of us... but such is life, I suppose. We all have to go sometime.

Watch The Discovery Channel tonight.

Two shows listed about Neil Armstrong and Apollo 11.

I remember watching that first moon walk on a junky portable black and white TV in my parents' den. I think I was holding my breath right along with the millions of other TV viewers!

An update, and a fitting final resting place for a Navy veteran.

He was one of a kind, a hero who loved what he did more than he loved fame...so rare these days

I was definitely sad when I found this out. He was a great man. He took one of the biggest steps in Human history. My grandpa worked on the mission that took him to the moon.
