RIP Neil. We owe our Moon a lot. It stabilizes the tilt of mother Earth and many other "good things"

looking bright and spiritual, and I had a similar thought for Neil Armstrong, a man I waited hours to watch his historic accomplishement on a B&W television back then, on July 20-21, 1969, in Canada.
I remember that night like yesterday!

Held my beer up, and toasted Commander Armstrong.

God speed Neil Armstrong.

Maybe he died without regrets.
