“We are heartbroken to share the news that Neil Armstrong has passed away following complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures,” Armstrong’s family said in a statement obtained by CNN affiliate WKRC.
Armstrong underwent heart surgery this month.
“While we mourn the loss of a very good man, we also celebrate his remarkable life and hope that it serves as an example to young people around the world to work hard to make their dreams come true, to be willing to explore and push the limits, and to selflessly serve a cause greater than themselves,” his family said.

@kapuli….they really did not set foot on the moon! It was one sick LIE to beat Russians in the space race. They simulated the moon landing on Area 51 in the California desert, it is believed.Google Area 51

Indeed the man is a legend forever.By the way Neil wasn’t alone,He went with Yuri who equally deserves recognition.And of what economic,social,scientific benefit was this journey to heaven after investing billions of dollars in it.Or was it just a rat race between USA and USSR.

That was a Hollywood movie, you were bamboozled big time. Remember when they showed him putting the flag on the moon ,the flag was blowing with the wind. Tell me ,we have been told that there is no air.
