WHERE NO OTHER MAN HAD GONE BEFORE!
So is the word "Exclusive."
The third most exclusive club in this world may be Men Who Have Been Heavy Weight World Boxing Champs." And I remember when that meant something.
The second most exclusive club IS ...Men who have walked on the moon.
THEE MOST EXCLUSIVE CLUB is The First Man to Walk on The Moon.
That my friends was Neil Armstrong.
Most of us mere mortals from bloggers like me to the cast of Star Trek have only been beyond earth's atmosphere with our imagination.
Neil Armstrong who passed away this Saturday was living proof of Science Fact.
I for one will always love him for that.
Good Night Neil Armstrong and as long as there are people dreaming on other worlds or merely dreaming about other worlds on this one. Your courage and achievement will live on.
