Neil Amstrong, the first man to enter the moon has died today at the age of 82. He died after under going a heart bypass surgery earlier in the month.

Neil Armstrong, the astronaut who marked an epochal
*achievement in exploration with “one small step” from the
Apollo 11 lunar module on July 20, 1969, becoming the first
person to walk on the moon, has died at 82.
The family announced the death in a statement Saturday but
did not disclose when or where he died. They attributed it to
“complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures.”
A taciturn engineer and test pilot who was never at ease with
his fame, Mr. Armstrong was among the most heroized
Americans of the 1960s Cold War space race.
Twelve years after the Soviet Sputnik satellite reached space
first, deeply alarming U.S. officials, and after President John F.
Kennedy in 1961 declared it a national priority to land an
American on the moon “before this decade is out,” Mr.
Armstrong, a former Navy fighter pilot, commanded the NASA
crew that finished the job.
The crew’s trip to the moon — particularly the hair-raising final
descent from lunar orbit to the treacherous surface — was
history’s boldest feat of aviation. Yet what the experience meant
to him, what he thought of it all on an emotional level, he
mostly kept to himself.
Like his boyhood idol, transatlantic aviator Charles A.
Lindbergh, Mr. Armstrong learned how uncomfortable the
intrusion of global acclaim can be. And just as Lindbergh had
done, he eventually shied from the public and avoided the
popular media.
In time, he became almost mythical.
Mr. Armstrong was “exceedingly circumspect” from a young
age, and the glare of international attention “just deepened a
personality trait that he already had in spades,” said his
authorized biographer, James R. Hansen, a former NASA
historian.
