He needs a state funeral, like a former president or other grandee.
I absolutely agree he should have a state funeral. I’m guessing it would not have been his preference but America should have the chance to honor him. Today our so called celebrities are people like the Kardashians or every other D list celebrity who has their own reality show. Yet Neil Armstrong remained a private man who never tried to cash in on his celebrity.
It’s amazing listening to the audio of the moon landing and how calm his voice was even though he and Buzz Aldrin had alarms they didn’t recognize, their fuel was running low and they had large boulders in their proposed landing field. I’ll always remember being glued to my TV set watching a man actually walk on the moon. I really thought we would have a man on Mars by now. It’s so sad what has happened to our manned space program. I really hope than when Romney is elected he reverses Obama and puts our manned space program back on track where it should be.
Maybe by having a large state funeral to honor this man, young people of today will also learn what it used to be like in this country when we dreamed big dreams. The technology we have today is far more advanced than what we used to go to the moon yet we can’t even put a man in orbit anymore. Kind of hard to believe.
