A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

August 28, 2012: "I am, and will ever be, a white-socks, pocket protector, nerdy engineer, born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace and propelled by compressible flow."

Sister Maria Cordis introduced Big Bang theory and a degree of evolution explanation in 4th grade....'67 -'68. Also had us do a paper on MLK's Peace Prize, I think, and had damp eyes the day RFK was killed. I don't think she remained a nun. If she had, she'd be among the ones in trouble currently, I'm sure, for rogue behaviors and doctrinal uppityness.

I also grew up the old Republican party, and back then they LOVED science.

Melody, it depends on the order. But the orders that tend to be out there in the world are often both pragmatic and compassionate. On the other hand, they can be the most humorless and cruel enforcers of official doctrine.

Charisma
embodying rebellion or resisitance
embodying a nation
just being funny or talented or smart and being appreciated by a large group.

In a few short years, none of the members of the Apollo crewmembers will be left.
I think it was Collins that noted that when they came home and did the world tour, people around the world said "we did it!" - we being humanity.
Armstrong also noted how, on the moon, he could blot out the earth by just holding up his thumb - and how small it made all of us, himself included.
To be humble in spite of a vast number range of accomplishments, I think that's one of the mark of a truly great human being.
If people or organisations use his passing for their own gain, it just reveals them for what they are, cynical opportunists.
Neil Armstrong was a great person, end of.
