Died Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon

Died Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the soil of the Moon, announced on Saturday his family. The astronaut was 82 years old and are not yet known details about the cause of death, but it is known that Armstrong underwent a heart operation earlier this month to relieve a blockage in the coronary arteries. In his last public appearance in November 2011, Armstrong received, along with his fellow mission Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, the gold medal of the U.S. Congress. Born August 5, 1930, Neil Alden Armstrong gets down in history as the first man to walk on the moon, July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 mission. The event was broadcast live around the world, through television.
