"It will be Columbus and Magellan and Armstrong..."

I would include Lewis & Clark in that pantheon as well.

Armstrong surpasses them all in terms of immortality. He was the first man ever to set foot on another celestial body. It can never be surpassed, even for the first man on Mars. Gargarin and Armstrong will be forever remembered, not just by Americans but mankind.

Lewis and Clark were American heroes but they are scarcely known anywhere else.
