No-one else will ever be able to say "I was the first man on the moon."

I remember watching the moon landing on 20th July 1969. I sat up nearly all night. It was amazing.
By all accounts he was a modest man who preferred to teach rather than continue his career as an astronaut.

he was here last year at the Abama. I was 10 min late for meeting him. Gutted. Someone else got the chance. RIP indeed
