Flag of the United States on American astronaut Neil Armstrong’s space suit (Photo credit: Wikipedia)<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday Investors.com<\/a> posted an article about the death of astronaut Neil Armstrong<\/a>. He was 82. On July 20, 1969, Astronaut<\/a> Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A graduate of Purdue with a degree in aeronautical engineering, his academic career was interrupted when he was called to duty with the U.S. Navy<\/a> in 1949 and flew 78 combat missions in Korea<\/a>. He was an exceptional man and an exceptional American<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article cites Mr. Armstrong’s objections to the direction the Obama Administration<\/a> has taken the American space program<\/a>:<\/p>\n

…Armstrong had publicly opposed the gutting of the U.S. space program by the Obama administration<\/a>, which has left us no current way of sending men into space except for paying the Russians for a ride while NASA conducts “missions” like a Muslim<\/a> outreach program and observing earth for signs of climate change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Neil Armstrong was one of our early astronauts. The early astronauts were American heroes. All of them showed amazing courage in facing a task with so many unknown elements and no promise that they would return.<\/p>\n

I have posted the above picture of Neil Armstrong because President Obama<\/a> chose to honor Neil Armstrong by posting a picture of himself looking up at the moon. That picture is posted at Lucianne.com<\/a> with the caption, “The Ego Has Landed<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span>.”<\/p>\n
