Was up on Mauna Kea Saturday night while doing a Big Island tour with some mainland visitors, just hours after learning of Commander Armstrongs passing. At the 9000' elevation there is a visitors center and and a very large Newtonian telescope was set Up and focused on the Sea of Tranquility. Pretty much focused on the area of the of the Apollo 11 landing. Very cool and a fitting view of The area where Commander Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on another world. Some very brave people in that program.

Here's how to honor Neil Armstrong - Cosmic Log
I think another way is to encourage today's young children to be interested in aeronautics, exploration and adventure. Spark a curiosity in them. Push them. Challenge them. It's a fascinating world out there, and I'm afraid many young people today don't realize what they're missing.

You know, to someone like Chad Ochocinco, Neil Armstrong must have seemed like he really was from the moon.

Neil To Be Buried At Sea
CINCINNATI —
Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, will be buried at sea.
A family spokesman said Thursday no other details on the timing or the location of the burial were available. Armstrong was a Navy fighter pilot before joining the space program.
A public memorial service will be held at the Washington National Cathedral on Sept. 13. The 10 a.m. service will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the websites of the cathedral and space agency. It will be open to the public on a first come, first served basis. But reservations still must be made through NASA.
A private service was held in Ohio for Armstrong, who died Aug. 25 at age 82.
