Just saw this. I got a photo on my Facebook wall from the Mythbusters, captioned "Today we honor the legacy of Neil Armstrong. A man whose contributions to science and discovery are truly immeasurable." I thought nothing much of it, thinking it was his birthday or something. Then I saw this thread and my heart sank when I realised the earlier significance; almost immediately I saw it reported on BBC News as the top headline news. They covered his story for almost half the programme and I stopped everything to watch it.
A sad day indeed.
Here, in honour of the man, his life and his legacy, is the photo Mythbusters selected:
I never got to see it live, but I was born in September of that same year so there's always been that connection for me.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
