NEIL WOZ ' ERE 1969.

So on that basis, you are telling porkies. |

Apparently he rated his chances of surviving the mission at "about 90%".
There's a story in one of today's papers about how he nearly died on the Gemini 8 mission in 1966. He and his co astronaut were on the verge of falling unconscious after the craft started spinning wildly. He only just managed to correct the fault. If he'd failed there would have been 2 corpses orbiting the earth for the next 10 years, something which would probably have brought an end to the programme.
I was fortunate to attend one of his very few lectures. Rather like listening to an avuncular university professor, a genuinely modest man who seemed completely unaffected by his experiences.

Yes, it's a landlocked country in Africa, capital N’Djamena.
Next!
And neither Kilroy, Chad nor Foo would have put 'woz 'ere'.
They put 'was here'. |

Because he was drug pedalling (sic). |

First Michael Jackson and now Neil Armstrong.
God really isn't a fan of the moonwalk is he?

| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"I really can't credit it. Not only that there are people naive or stupid enough to still doubt the Moon landings, but that they would be so crass as to intrude with their asining ramblings on an RIP thread.
Not that the sane part of the human population thought it would make any difference to these lunatics and knuckle draggers, but as a kick in the proverbials for them, and as a tribute to one of man's greatest achievements, here's one of the images taken in July by the Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter of the Apollo 11 landing site where, funnily enough, everything is still there. And will forever be, as the best tribute to Neil Armstrong of all.

You've never heard of Photoshop 
RIP Neil
An all time hero of mine, as a 12 year old I was glued to the mission on the telly and subsequent missions. Never forget visiting Kennedy Space Centre when I docked in Mayport Naval Base in 1978 and had my photo took next to a full size Saturn 5 rocket, amazing stuff. How many humans will be remembered in a 10,000 years ? , the likes of Armstrong, Gagarin will be, I am sure, true pioneers who optimise the real human spirit of adventure. |

where will NA be buried, Arlington maybe ? (or maybe cremated ?) - the reason for asking is that you mentioned Gagarin and I have visited his cremated remains that are behind a plaque in the wall of the Kremlin about 50 yards from Lenins tomb - he is still considered a hero of the Soviet Union - NA will surely have the same kind of status ? |
