Statement from the Family of Neil Armstrong
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=38284 (http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=38284)


love the last paragraph:-
"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

Same here - those initial (ghostly) images are unforgettable.

And yes, it's sad news indeed that he is dead.
