US Astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk in the moon has died at age 82 last August 25, 2012. According to Yahoo news, Armstrong underwent cardiac bypass surgery, earlier this month after doctors found blockages in his coronary arteries.
He and fellow Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20, 1969, before the eyes of hundreds of millions of awed television viewers worldwide.
His first words upon stepping on the lunar surface have since been etched in history: "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."
