I respected that man. I once wanted to go into space when I was a child, and still do.

He was a hero to science, and he was a hero to many.

May he rest in peace.

When I was younger, I always wanted to be like Neil Armstrong. I wanted to be the first man to step foot on a planetary body. I'll always remember Neil Armstrong, he was a hero to all of mankind.
