Neil Armstrong just passed away

[Logan Darklighter]

That was my exact same thought, Dartz.
Excuse me while I go find something to break noisily...
Edit: Nothing around here to break in my momentary anger and sorrow, so I just came back and started reading stuff online. And this jumped out at me -

Like a lot of us, the late Ray Bradbury stayed up all night that
night Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. He said he cried all night,
too, he was so happy. And he was beamed round the world via Telstar on
camera with Cronkite, to whom he said:

“We’re always asking, ‘What are we doing here on earth?’
We are the audience. There’s no use having a universe, a cosmology, if
you don’t have witnesses. We are the witnesses to the miracle. We are
put here by creation, by God, by the cosmos, whatever name you want to
give it. We’re here to be the audience to the magnificent. It is our job
to celebrate.”

Thanks to our space program, when Armstrong stepped foot on lunar soil, the Moon ceased to be just a thing. It became a place.
A place I hope we return to within my lifetime.
