Neil Armstrong RIP

Very sad news of the death of Neil Armstrong yesterday. Inspired a generation even though he kept out of the limelight and led a normal life after the landings.

I saw this quote and I think it sums him up very well:

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

Here is the link to the Telegraph obituary:
