Thank You, Neil Armstrong
From the AP:
"I am, and ever will be, a white socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer," he said in February 2000 in one of his rare public appearances. "And I take a substantial amount of pride in the accomplishments of my profession."
Like taking the biggest step in the history of the world?
Those of us that saw this event on TV will never forget it. I went out and looked into that dark Arizona sky (we didn't have a lot of light so our skies were dark and starry) and wondered if I would go to the moon if I could.
Thank you, Neil Armstrong, for your inspiration and courage.

Realist, the ICBMs were already there, isn't it a good thing that some of them were used for peaceful purposes? Voyages of exploration of the past have all had elements of national interest too -- Magellan was in search of a route to the Indies not controlled by Portugal, etc. That doesn't change their accomplishment.
