A genuine gutsy American hero.
I read an article the other day where Neil Armstrong was quoted at the time of the first launch. Houston was worried that a technical problem would delay or prevent the launch, and Armstrong, who was already in the capsule, was quoted as saying: “Why don’t you fix your little problem and then let’s light this candle.” He was a great American, a courageous pioneer, and will truly be missed. Sincere condolences to his family.
