I know nothing of Armstrong’s life other than his moon mission.

But he doesn’t rate a state funeral for a moon walk.

But he doesn’t rate a state funeral for a moon walk.

True. But it wasn't 'just a moon walk'.

He was the first to fulfill the dreams of hundreds of millions of men, who, over thousands, or perhaps even tens of thousands of years, dreamt of walking on the moon.

Millions devoted their entire lives for such an achievement. Many died in their efforts.

We owe it to many more than Neil to recognize this symbol of mans tremendous scientific efforts and successes to bury him with this honor.

Sounds like all you think he did is step out of his luxuriously appointed space bus, walk on the moon, return to his bus, and doze all the way home.
