Well this post maybe a little late for the occasion but i have had some technical difficulties with my laptop, but anyways .. I would like to dedicate this blog post to the late Neil Armstrong, who died last week at the age of 82.Picture the scene,21st July 1969 Images streamed across the televisions of the first man to ever set foot on the moon ... Neil Armstrong, with the famous words "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."
This man changed our society, this kind of exploration was unheard of, and was of course a major leap for mankind. Whilst on the moon, for a total time of 21 hours, Armstrong described what he saw "Powdered charcoal surface"... dispelling the myth that the moon was made of cheese or other wacky suggestions proposed around that time!
Ever since this event, Armstrong was a hero, the man young children aspired to be... come on, everyone wanted to be an astronaut at some point during their childhood! Armstrong achieved what was viewed to be the impossible ... and his legacy lives on. To use the astrological terminology, he gave us the inspiration to "Reach for the stars", demonstrating that not even the sky is a limit!
RIP Neil Armstrong (1930 - 2012) ... thank you for all your small steps <3
We must reach for the stars!
