NEIL ARMSTRONG; RIP & WARP SPEED!
I was three when I watched him walk down that ladder and make fiction fact.
It didn’t matter that he was a distant White man with NASA and I was a Black school teacher’s kid in a Southern town weaned on science fiction and adventure stories.
Armstrong wasn’t a ” White ” man as I recall the hush that befell Black America. He was ” Our ” man, a fellow American who did something that showed friend and foe alike in this country that impossible needed to be re-defined.
In 1969 America had alot dividing it but on that day we briefly put differences aside to marvel at what one of our own had accomplished.
We sorely need unifying moments like this now.
Warp speed Bro Armstrong!

I was 14 and it was one of those moments that you will always remember where you were when it occurred? I remember my whole family gathered around the tv set so vividly holding our breaths and hearing those immortal words, “Tanquility base…the Eagle has landed.”
Neil Armstrong was quiet, polite and very humble. He was what ever hero should be.
