A sad day for Space science today with news of the death of Neil Alden Armstrong, most well known for being the first man to ever set foot on the Moon on 20th July 1969, and responsible for saying those famous 10 words that were broadcast around the world and left their place in history -

"one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind".

Armstrong joined the US space programme in 1962 after having been a Navy jet fighter pilot. He flew only two missions, both as Command Pilot with the first being on Gemini 8 which launched in 1966, and the second with Apollo II in 1969. He spent a total of 8 days, 14 hours, 12 minutes, and 31 seconds in space.
