Neil Armstrong has died at 82
Patrick:
The beautiful thing is, it isn't even a tragedy. Yeah, it's sad to see him go, but he did the most badass thing in human history. Guy truly won the game of Truth or Dare, and he got the high score.

What a great way to put it!
I have mixed memories. My first marriage had just ended. I was watching it at my house with a woman I had some lust for; every time she leaned forward I was looking at her bottom. That friendship never went anywhere. It was just as well. But I have clearer memories of that than what was unfolding on the screen in front of us. I was sort of a stupid shit at that moment.

Hey, if you look back at yourself and see a stupid shit, that means your life is going in the right direction. Neil Armstrong probably didn't look back at himself on the moon like that, but from there, there's nowhere to go but down. Although it's hard to worry about what to do with the rest of your life if you went to the freakin' moon. He will be well remembered.
Mr. Doctor:
--- Quote --- For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.

He became a professor of engineering.
And he never considered it a step down...
