    Physicist Professor Brian Cox tweeted:

    "Sad to hear about death of Neil Armstrong. I do think Apollo was the greatest of human achievements. For once, we reached beyond our grasp."

    I always think you should try and do anything your able to in this life as were only here once,
    Ive always said if you can leave your footprints in someones heart you've succeeded! BUT this guy did that AND left his footprints on the moon!
    What a notch in your belt, not many of us humans can even dream of achieving that!

    Chalking yet another achievement up for the guys in helmets :)

    Pete Conrad, the third man to stand on the moon went out in a motorcycle accident.
