Neil Armstrong is one class act.
A man whose name will be in history books when little else is remembered about the 20th century or anyone in it. The first man to step on the Moon.
This guy could milk that fame for all it's worth, and instead he stays entirely out of the public eye. Too bad America doesn't emulate and value his excellent character instead of genuflecting before media whores.

Two days ago, the 3rd man to step on the Moon, Pete Conrad, was buried in Arlington National Cemetary. He died from a spill on a motorcycle. Funny, I don't remember the public crying its eyes out over the tragic death of this significant American. I wonder why not?
