Truly Epic

"At 4:18 p.m. on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong's voice crackled from the speakers at NASA's Mission Control in Houston. He said simply, "the Eagle has landed."

With those words, the dream President John F. Kennedy's voiced in 1961--putting humans on the Moon by the end of the decade--had at last come true"

RIP Neil Armstrong, you were a massive part of my Childhood

A reluctant All-American hero. And from all accounts, a genuinely nice guy too. RIP.
