"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small."

I'm dating myself but I saw this first steps on the moon live, my parents woke me up in the middle of the night so I could see it. He was one of the last non-athlete or non-musician heros kids idolized, and a perfect role model! RIP fellow sailor, blue skies and tail winds always!!
 
He uttered possibly the two most famous and popular lines in American history....

"The Eagle has landed."
"One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."

RIP
