Forever Written In The Book Of Times: NEIL ARMSTRONG DEAD AT 82

Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died today. He was 82. Armstrong underwent heart surgery earlier this month, just a few days after his birthday. Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft, which landed on the moon on July 20, 1969. During his three-hour walk on the moon's surface, he radioed back the famous line, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Armstrong married his current wife Carol in 1999 and lived in the Cincinnati suburb of Indian Hill. He stayed largely out of the public spotlight in recent years.
