U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong, who took a giant leap for mankind when he became the first person to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82, his family said on Saturday.
The family said in a statement online that Armstrong died following complications from heart-bypass surgery he underwent earlier this month, just two days after his birthday on August 5.
As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969. As he stepped on the dusty surface, Armstrong said: "“That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
Those words endure as one of the best known quotes in the English language.
Ilikuwa apelekwe hosbitali ya APOLLO ( India). wahindi siku hizi ni nambali one kwa matibabu.

Jamani wengine tunakumbuka siku hii hawa majemadari watatu walipotua mwezini. Mimi nilikuwa na umri wa miaka 10 na mjadala ulikuwa mzito kama ni kweli wangeweza masaa machache kabla ya kutua.
ReplyDeleteEnzi ile ilikuwa kusikiliza redio na mjomba wangu ndiye alikuwa mshabiki mkubwa sana na mfuatiliaji wa mienendo ya Appolo zote zilizofanya majaribio ya kutua mwezini kabla.
Wengi hawakulala kwa kusubiri tukio hili. Kama ilivyokuwa mpira kwa hivi sasa, watu walijaa mahotelini kusikiliza matangazo ya redio.
Walikuwa ni Neil Armstrong, Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin na Michael Collins.
Utaamini kwamba mtihani wa darasa la saba mwaka 1970 tuliulizwa suali tuwataje wanasayansi waliotua mwezini?
Rest in peace Neil Armstrong. Tutaendelea kukumbuka mpaka huku porini Afrika.
Inasemekana huyu jamaa hakutua mwezini hivyo unafiki wake anakufa nao. Ilikuwa ni filamu ya Hollywood.

Hiyo dhana kwamba this thing did not happen inaaminiwa na some pea brains.
Google UFO (High speed Internet maana inabidi utulie, hivyo itakusaidia sana) and you will get to know and see that the World we live in is so complicated, and that the Moon is just a stone throw away.
