    Track the torrent of online tributes to moonwalker Neil Armstrong

    Watch Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon on July 20, 1969 and hear his now famous first words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

    By NBC News

    Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, died Saturday, weeks after heart surgery and days after his 82nd birthday. Shortly after his death was confirmed, tributes began pouring in online.

    Lucky me: I saw him speak at Oshkosh, and I see Gene Cernan regularly. Wonderful men! RIP Neil and "look at " love" from both sides now....." and why not come back and haunt those crazy people who doubt you went to the moon?
