Re: Passing of Neil Armstrong

There really aren't words to properly say what Armstrong's service to our country means. I am in awe of all he's done.

An Ohio Representative has called for President Obama to honor Armstrong with a state funeral. If any non-President is worthy of a state funeral, I think it would be Armstrong, though he probably would have hated the idea of it.

and, of course

Go Boilers.

NASA has also stated that if Armstrong says he said "a man" that's their official stance.

No doubt about either of those points. I do think if there is only a small private gathering it provides a thought provoking contrast to Yuri Gagarin's massive state funeral.
