NEIL ARMSTRONG ============ Neil Armstrong, who made a “giant leap for mankind” as the first human to set foot on the moon, died last August 2012. He was 82yo. His family said in a statement released at that time that the cause was “complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures.” Mr. Armstrong made history on 20 July 1969 as the commander of the Apollo 11 spacecraft on the mission that culminated the Soviet-American space race of the 1960s. President John F. Kennedy had committed the nation “to achieving the goal, before the decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth.” It was done, and with more than five months to spare.
