Neil Armstrong, First Man on the Moon, Dead at 82

Some have said that the environmental movement was a byproduct of the space program; that image from Apollo 8 of the earth floating in space influenced a generation. But Neil Armstrong was also an inspiration. This cool, quiet engineer knew his job inside and out; when on automatic descent he saw a big rock and took over and landed manually. He never showboated; he never tried to capitalize on his fame; he did his job and did it well. After returning to earth he quietly returned home and taught engineering.
