"As long as there are history books, Neil Armstrong will be included in them, remembered for taking humankind's first small step on a world beyond our own," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden.
When I heard about this, late on Saturday night, the news really hit my emotions hard and it was unusually upsetting.
On a personal note. The exploits of Neil and all the NASA people’s achievements had a great effect on my life, inspiring my love for science and engineering and inspiring me to follow a career in electronics.
