Neil Armstrong Dies at 82
I was his fan since childhood and I still remember when I first learnt about him in school I was eagerly waiting for the Moon to come out in evening and later on spent the whole evening gazing at it and admiring Neil Armstrong. And today I sit by the window yet again gazing at the Moon wishing for Mr. Neil Armstrong to rest in peace. Hat off to you Man…!!!
Even the moon shines in half its glory tonight.
