We at the Dyna here would like to take a moment in silence to remember Neil Armstrong - we remember his bravery in becoming the first man to walk on the moon and leaving us a legacy that has defined dreams for life times to come.

Former U.S. astronaut, Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, has died at the age of 82, U.S. media reported on Saturday.
Armstrong underwent a heart-bypass surgery earlier this month, just two days after his birthday on August 5, to relieve blocked coronary arteries.
As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. As he stepped on the moon's dusty surface, Armstrong said: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
The Apollo 11 moon mission turned out to be Armstrong's last space flight. The following year he was appointed to a desk job, being named NASA's deputy associate administrator for aeronautics in the office of advanced research and technology.
He left NASA a year later to become a professor of engineering at the University of Cincinnati.
The former astronaut lived in the Cincinnati area with his wife, Carol.

Among my earliest memories is getting up very early in the morning and turning the TV on very low volume to watch the various moon shots. The command module and lunar landers were among the first models I ever built if not actually the very first.
R.I.P.

This is sad,..and yet may there always be wind in his sails and his path free of roids between the stars.
