The first man to ever set foot on the Moon, Former U.S. astronaut, Neil Armstrong, died on Saturday 25 August 2012 at the age of 82. Armstrong underwent a heart-bypass surgery earlier this month, just two days after his birthday on August 5, to relieve blocked coronary arteries.

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."

Rest In Peace.
