An even larger number couldn't care less about NASA, space exploration, or anything remotely related to it.

Would you mourn the same way if a member of The Jersey Shore died in a freak sniper accident? I doubt it.

Like I said before, you dont have to care or know anything about NASA to know and admire Neil Armstrong and how can you compare him to the Jersey Shore ... just come on!

You see, I have the same feelings as you do about Neil Armstrong, as well as the space program in general. It's partly what inspired me to get my pilot's license after high school. Anyways, I guess it is strange that someone like Neil would not have gotten more attention here, but I am guilty myself. Even Alizée and her father posted something on FB.

You Lefty are a member who is definitely exempt from my post ... (there are a few others as well). I am generally disappointed at the forum as whole not any particular member! I didn't know you were a pilot ... I would like to talk to you more about that on some other thread.

Thanks Karla
