Very sad—but a life well-lived, and a heart that had worked very, very hard. What a wonderful chance he had—and what use he made of it. Plus he lived a good and productive and disciplined life afterward, a worldwide hero who never tarnished his own great moment, and who wanted to go on doing, not just being. That name will go to the stars when we go, no question.

I’m proud to have watched it as it happened. Pretty unbelievable. Very sad. We could use millions more just like him.
He’s a man that was worthy of his many achievements. I’m glad I got to see that step.
We have lost Sally Ride and Neil Armstrong in the same year that Curiosity landed on Mars. There’s a poem in there, somewhere.
Brilliant, optimistic post. *When* we go to the stars, not *if*.
We will go, and he will be remembered.
A genuinely good man. His deeds will live for centuries, even if he could not.
Certainly we’ll go to the stars, as the stars are there to go to, and certainly we – our children – will carry his name (among others) with them.
If we didn’t go out there, we are bound do become extinct – something like in ‘Variable Star’ might not be so far off.
