Neil Armstrong. RIP

I don't know how to put pictures on the net but one of Oz's great cartoonists, Sean Leahy, has produced a wonderful tribute to a beaut bloke.

Far away in the distance is planet earth and we're looking at "that" boot-print in the lunar dust. Beyond it is the flag they planted, at half mast.

May he rest in peace.

A great engineer, outstanding pilot who was able to cope with the life long fame and pressure of being the first man to walk on the moon.

He really does deserve a state funeral for his lifetime of achivements.

Very nice tribute. Many people don't realize the landing of the Eagle almost didn't happen. The LEM (Lunar Excusion Module) had a computer problem and Neil had to take over manually and find a place to land. The Eagle was almost out of fuel when it touched down.

About 30 seconds worth of fuel left.
