Although Yuri was the first man in space he died in the 60's as a test pilot which was his actual career |

Nearly all astronauts, on both sides of the race, were test pilots. The requirements were a large number of flight hours and a special kind of crazy, both of which all test pilots had, so the vast majority were selected from that pool. TEST Alliance BEST Alliance |

Technically true, Gargarin was the first man in space, Armstrong was the first man to set foot on another ball of rock. Both epic achievements that will go down in history. Either way they were both original spacebros. War hasn't been fought this badly since Olaf the Hairy, High Chief of all the Vikings, accidentally ordered 80,000 battle helmets with the horns on the inside. |

Paul Oliver wrote:It is indeed saddening that the passion for exploration that fueled the hearts and minds of generations of not only americans but much of humanity has been subverted by budget cuts and public skepticism in an era of technological achievement that should be allowing us to venture out among the stars and colonize new worlds, but instead is used merely to send forth machines in our place. Here's hoping that someday that spirit of exploration may live again, and future generations of Neil Armstrongs may once more have the chance to make giant leaps for all mankind.
I agree with a lot of what you say to a point. But with the monumental costs for putting one man into space, let alone a group to attempt colonization is colossal. I do however hope that funds are restored for the exploration of our universe. Next thing to look forward to is the probe that will approach the largest known asteroid in our galaxy somewhere around 2015.
I do hope to live to see the day where a person can pay for a ticket to moon/mars vaction resort. Your still a child in the eyes of the universe |

A great American.
He could have capitalized on his fame, slapped his name on any product he chose - but chose modesty instead. Result - he could have walked down any street in the US and not even been recognized.
But fame is a funny thing. Actors, Presidents, CEOs, Athletes - so many of them seem important today in the here and now.
But.....2000 years from now, who will be remembered?
I guarantee that people will STILL know the name of the first man to walk on the moon.
Aside from Albert Einstein and one or two others, I can't imagine many 20th Century figures achieving that level of immortality.

R.I.P. Neil Armstrong.
Like so many who risked all in this planet's space programs, heroes one and all.
He will be missed but his contributions to humanity will live on. Any Spelling, gramatical and literary errors made by me are included free of charge.

heh, If you want to be technical about that and if you are a firm believer in Darwin, Perhaps Albert II was the Origional Space Bro. |

R.I.P. Neil. You are an inspiration and will be remembered for the duration of our species.
Side topic...a CCP tribute to Neil would be great. Perhaps something on one of the moons in the game. "The human body can be drained of blood in 8.6 seconds, given adequate vacuuming systems." |
