First Man on the Moon Dies

[forgop]

A little memorial outside of the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering at Purdue University.

Five hundred years from now, no one will remember what issues we argued about, what was important to us, and what the economy did,

But people will know who Neil Armstrong was.

RIP.


We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.
