I had the distinct privilege of meeting him in person on the 20th Anniversary of the moon landing in 1989 in Washington, DC. It is a moment that I will remember forever. RIP, Neil...
I adore the fact that, for the rest of its existence, the moon will have a set of footprints on it belonging to that wonderful, wonderful man and his team. No ceremony, monument or statue can be greater then those simple prints in the unmoving dirt. Its really quite an extraordinary way to remember a person, but it'll last a lot, lot longer then other monuments to people.
Quiet, humble, sincere - everything modern 'heroes' like celebrities are not. Thank you to Neil, the other Apollo astronauts and everybody who ever worked on Mercury, Gemini and Apollo for giving us the inspiration and knowledge of what a sense of adventure can drive us to achieve. Godspeed Neil.
I cannot believe that any Person in this Beautiful Free Blue World would ever be ready do deny that NEIL ARMSTRONG was Truthfully among the Twentieth Century's Absolutely most PROFOUND & most ever Courageous Immortal Heroes; I am PROUD to have had the Honour to once have lived in the same Heroic Pioneer Era of Manned Exploration of the Solar System Neighbourhoods of ours, I am Swedish but I am PROUD for having experienced these Golden Years that started the very same year as when I was born..!
I have always looked upon Mr. Armstrong as a true "American Hero" the epitome of greatness. Humble, reserved, quiet. The world will long remember Neil Armstrong, not the for greatness he showed albeit for the greatness he was. I still, in awe, look up at the Moon in the evening hours, and can recall vividly those ghostlike television images of a "man" setting foot upon another heavenly body, for the first time. Rest In Peace, Neil Armstrong!
One of my favorite stories about Neil Armstrong was when one day, Neil was testing out a LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) prototype called the LLRV (Lunar Landing Research Vehicle), the thing exploded and fell to the ground and burst into glames. Luckily though, Neil ejected just in time. Later, either Edwin 'Buzz' Aldrin or Jim Lovell heard the news and went go find Neil, who was sitting in an office filling out paperwork. Aldrin (or Lovell) goes to Neil and says "You almost died! For heavens and you're just sitting here casually!" And there's Neil, sitting down at his desk doing paperwork and just nods it off and says "There's paper work to fill out" What a badass!
Neil is greatest is super hero of 20th century, he risked his life for greatest cause to help humanity, he is so brave, he may rest in heaven, he always be remembered as noble and inspiring man
Neil Armstrong was a man of honor and courage. Neil is the greatest man that had and ever will in history. Every night when I see the moon, I look at it for a moment, and make a salute while saying ''Rest In Peace, My Hero'' . These days not a lot of people remember this great man.I my self have Neil Armstrong's Biography from James R. Hansen .
Not only did Neil leave a footprint on the moon, he also left one in our history. Forever. Beautiful tribute. Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon.
Even though Neil is gone his memory and spirit will live on forever on the moon and in the universe. He's the eternal astronaut. God bless you Neil Armstrong
I think people in this day and age don't appreciate just how large of a feat this man accomplished. Now he's gone and there will never again be another "first man on the moon."
I love how this talks about Neil's selflessness. He made it about the team, and the American people. Mr. President, you could learn something from this.
Great Video. You know, I paused the day he died. And I wept for a Real Life Hero of mine. And I found on EBay a "1960's Marx Johnny Apollo". Never owned one. But I wanted something to remember the Apollo Missions. Somehow I won that Auction and plan to out that plastic figure by my computer to remind me the impossible was achieved. All because we dreamed and dared to believe. Neil Armstrong was truly one of the Greatest Americans ever. Humble and at the same time Daring.
Why is there _any_ dislikes on this video? I have no faith in humanity. To the people who disliked this video, you should be ashamed of yourself, as you could only hope to do 5% of what Neil managed to do for this planet you live on.
Neil the boy scouts will miss you you were a very nice man and i hope god has a place for you up there rest in peace and from all the eagle scouts we say thankyou
This was a great tribute to an American hero and a wonderful human being. May his accomplishments and achievements inspire many generations to come! Thank you NASA for pushing the boundaries for exploration.
Wonderful! Just re-watched "The Right Stuff" today and wanted more; this beautifully crafted tribute provided it. Thanks NASA. And thank you Neil Armstrong.
Thanks for sharing. I keep a NASA book about the Apollo program that Neil dedicated me when I was a teenager as of the rare books that I will never give
rest in space i would of loved to meet you and still wish i could when i watched this i thought to my self you are the most best person in the world to me and your my hero and i would love to meet you up in the clouds one day rest in space
RIP Neil Alden Armstrong. You were an inspiration to many, a true American hero and an extremely considerate person. You will always be my hero and you will never be forgotten. May you forever be with God. *Salutes* Rest In Peace Neil, Rest In Peace. - Heather Norwood, Sunday 5th July 2015, 10PM.
An amazing man who did such a great job representing the organization that worked their butts off to achieve the un-achievable. Such humbleness is a character trait so rarely found today. RIP Mr. Armstrong you will never be forgotten in our journey through the stars. On another note, does anyone know the song at 3:03?
It was my dream to shake the hand of the first person to set foot on something other than eart. Neil is not just an american hero but a hero of mankind and he with foreer be missed
Sorry I spelt something wrong on my first comment on this video------------------------------- Neil Armstrong is a wonderful man and still is I wish I could meet him in real life but I can see his bike etc in a museum ( Sorry if I spelt it wrong ) RIP Neil Armstrong Neil A. Quote: One small step for a man....One giant leap for mankind We will NEVER forget Neil Armstrong
GLORIA ETERNA A NEIL ARMSTRONG, EL DIO ORGULLO A TODA LA HUMANIDAD, FUE UN GRAN HOMBRE, QUE DESCANSÉ EN PAZ Y QUE DESDE EL MÁS ALLÁ NOS VEA. CUANDO MIREN A LA LUNA PIENSEN EN NEIL Y DENLE UN GUIÑO. DESDE LIMA, PERÚ.
Kinda sad that we lost him. I still think they should erect a statue of him since he was the 1st man to walk on the moon. He is a modern day Columbus of you think about it. And I know the landing was not hoaxed. After all we have proof that it wasn't.
I could give an hour of proofing that they went to the moon, but I am getting tired of that. Neil Armstrong was an icon, down to earth (and the moon) humble, and a living inspiration.
What he did was probably the greatest push into the future. Do I consider it man's greatest achievement? No, I reserve the Voyager Mission for that, but this is certainly in the absolute highest of human achievement. It's certainly the greatest thing humans with their own flesh and bone have done.
You've still got a chance to be up there. Engineering, biology, physics, geology, any route you want to take, you still got a chance to get up there. The hoax here is that you can't get up to the stars. People want you to know you can't go beyond this small planet, because they don't want you to realize how fragile and small a place this world is. How we're all just a small world in a huge universe. If you take the opposite road, you'll end up wishing you had dared to dream.
Rest In Peace Good Sir. Hey does NASA or whoever made this video sell the Secrets Piano piece playing at 3:02? I would love to buy this version of the song.
jackie nistor greetings from Greece sir !! Neil is a legent !! of course man went to the moon !!! only idiots dont believe in this...AMERICA : THE LAND OF THE FREE THE HOME OF THE BRAVE !!!
Beautiful... this is Germany writing to Mr. Armstrong: Wherever you are Sir, you changed our world. Rest in Peace, you deserve it.
I had the distinct privilege of meeting him in person on the 20th Anniversary of the moon landing in 1989 in Washington, DC. It is a moment that I will remember forever.

Team NASA, this will be timeless and you remastered several clips of the Apollo 11 mission to HD. Beautiful touch to Honor such a Hero.
R.I.P. Neil
I feel like crying ... thanks Mr Armstrong looks us doawn from where ever you are in the infinity
Rest in peace Neil. You've accomplished a life dream.
In my heart Neil is still alive with us.But when I heard That he died I started crying.
Great Video. You know, I paused the day he died. And I wept for a Real Life Hero of mine. And I found on EBay a "1960's Marx Johnny Apollo". Never owned one.

Awesome stuff. A real American hero.
You're one of my greatest hero's, although your gone your legacy lives on.
I don't have many heroes but he sure is one of the very few. Following in his steps to do exactly what he did. Explore beyond our home planet.
A great American hero. America at its finest. Wish I could have met you Neil. You inspired me then and still do so today. God Bless.
This was a great tribute to an American hero and a wonderful human being. May his accomplishments and achievements inspire many generations to come! Thank you NASA for pushing the boundaries for exploration.
Hero for humanity.
My mother gets angry when i leave footprints on the floor..but i'm sure Mother Earth will never clean Mr Armstrong's footprint!
Rest In Peace Sir!
Blue skies and tailwinds, Neil.
May Neil Armstrong r.i.p

The music at 3:05 conveys imagination, possibilities, determination, and achievement, things that most of us want but don't want to work for.

I watched mythbusters, and they prooved it wasent fake :P
Except, y'know, Armstrong didn't take slaves from the Moon like Columbus.
I'd say he's more like a well-known Lief Erickson.
What he did was probably the greatest push into the future. Do I consider it man's greatest achievement? No, I reserve the Voyager Mission for that, but this is certainly in the absolute highest of human achievement. It's certainly the greatest thing humans with their own flesh and bone have done.

R.I.P Neil... but i have to say that i hate you, for dying on my birthday :(
We'll miss you ;)
Neil Armstrong 彼の「夢」や「好きなこと」に対する「行動力」を見習いたい。
I recently remember seeing an object named curiosity landing on Mars on tv.
Rest In Peace Good Sir. Hey does NASA or whoever made this video sell the Secrets Piano piece playing at 3:02? I would love to buy this version of the song.
