RIP First Man

Certainly a sad day as I watched that night the walk on the moon. There will only be 1 First Man. However there are many gods around. A humble man who always considered aeronautical engineering his first love.

As a footnote, had it not been for the Apollo 1 fire, Gus Grissom would have been the First Man. Gus was my true inspiration to take great interest in astronautics. Gus and Neil had much in common.
