Will they be playing "If You Believe They Put a Man on the Moon" at his funeral?

Armstrong would doubtless have been uncomfortable with all the tributes. People who knew him said he was not a recluse, but he was a private man who quickly deflected credit to others. He described himself, more than once, as a "nerdy engineer." He often protested that while he and Aldrin made the first lunar landing, they merely piloted a mission made possible by thousands of others.
Too much hero worship the world over....that's one reason why people get inflated egos...
Too much credit taken by a few for the works of many (Rich people, famous people, royalty, etc...)
Too much basking in other's glow by association.
Sounds like Neil understood this...
He was no hero. There are no heros. Just people trying to do the right thing.

But, who am I to judge?. If my country would ask me to do the same, I´ll do it. To lie to the whole world....
Well, farewell. I just hope you left the truth written somewhere so all of us could know it someday.

Truly an American hero, icon and a superb role model. He was a perfect example of why America is and always will be the best country on this planet. He will always remain a hero in world history. That's one thing about America, the whole world hears about our heros/icons all we got in return was the Beatles.... And look they fled to the United States where they knew they would succeed.... WOW!! The United States rules!! Sorry foreigners, sucks to be you..

I was nine at the time of the first moon landing,and was a exciting time to be alive.You could literally feel the excitment in the air.
It wasn't just the astronauts that went it was the world that went to the moon we all went with them. It was a positive common cause and time of endless possibilities.
I don't think the anticipation and passion will ever be repeated at least in my lifetime.
God Bless the Armstrong family in their time of grief...they are not alone

hopefully they will put that picture on his grave stone
Well maybe as a credit to having taken this picture, but the boot-print is Buzz Aldrin's.

I wonder if he left a diary of how they faked the moon landing and how nobody was willing to exit the magnetosphere due to the extreme radiation...

He will be missed. He was a great actor (peut-etre).
He finally made it to space. For real this time.
Conspiracy theories are a powerful source of pride and a wellspring of intellectual vanity. The theorist comes to see himself as thinking on a higher plane than the ignorant masses around him. He walks the fringes of society, watching his surroundings with suspicion. No one realizes what’s going on, he thinks. If speaking his mind on conspiracies causes others to recoil, he simply dismisses them as “dumb sheep” who cannot see what he sees. Every episode like this further reaffirms how special this inside information makes him
