    Neil Armstrong: Godspeed

    By brixton  |  Posted August 25, 2012  |  New York, New York
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     brixton is a frequent cartoon contributor on CNN iReport, one of many iReporters to share a tribute to Neil Armstrong.
    - nsaidi, CNN iReport producer

    I've explained it this way dozens of times.

    Dinosaurs walked with the faint, white glow of our moon on their backs. Billions of lives have come and gone on our earth over the millennia, the very breadth of humanity- all of history recorded and unrecorded. In a brief and majestic time, by vantage point, long ago, or not so long ago at all, twelve men from Earth walked upon a new world. Neil Armstrong was the first among that rare and brilliant company.

    I'm looking at the waxing moon overhead tonight. It is obscured by clouds and my vision is somehow, irrevocably dimmed.

    Godspeed him on his way.
