NEIL ARMSTRONG( THE FIRST MAN ON THE MOON) IS DEAD

The world received a shock news today(Saturday) of the death of Neil Armstrong. He died at the age of 82.He was the first man to walk on the moon. Armstrong was on the moon's surface for two hours and 32 minutes and Aldrin, who followed him, spent about 15 minutes less than that.

The world watched and waited as the lunar module
"Eagle" separated from the command module and began its descent.
Then came the words from Armstrong: "Tranquility Base here, the Eagle has landed."
About six and a half hours later at 10:56 p.m. ET on July 20, 1969, Armstrong, at age 38, became the first person to set foot on the moon.
He uttered the now-famous phrase: "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
The quote was originally recorded without the "a," which was picked up by voice recognition software many years later.Rest In Peace.
