Can you hear me, Major Tom?

Neil Armstrong passed away today.



While I think he mis-delivered his most famous quote (it was a giant step for (a) man, but it was a giant leap for mankind...), he was the nerdy engineer (and yes, being geeky/nerdy is okay...my son will be fine, I am okay, and my friends are great while being nerdy...) who was the first man to step on land off of Terra.

His words, while being inaccurate, continue to inspire and compel us to reach for the stars in the most literal manner.

Rest in peace, Neil Armstrong, and may you forever rest among the stars.
