Neil Armstrong has died, aged 82. Manually flew a spaceship and landed it on the Moon. Relaunched it with a bit of a pen. Beat that.

People asked, so: Aldrin & Armstrong broke the Lunar Module's engine ignition switch. Together they used a bit of a pen to trigger lift-off.

Neil Armstrong was a hero not just of his time, but of all time. Thank you, Neil, for showing us the power of one small step. -bo
