These brave men, Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin, know that there is no hope for their recovery. But they also know that there is hope for mankind in their sacrifice.
These two men are laying down their lives in mankind’s most noble goal: the search for truth and understanding.
They will be mourned by their families and friends; they will be mourned by their nation; they will be mourned by the people of the world; they will be mourned by a Mother Earth that dared send two of her sons into the unknown.
In their exploration, they stirred the people of the world to feel as one; in their sacrifice, they bind more tightly the brotherhood of man.
In ancient days, men looked at stars and saw their heroes in the constellations. In modern times, we do much the same, but our heroes are epic men of flesh and blood.
Others will follow, and surely find their way home. Man’s search will not be denied. But these men were the first, and they will remain the foremost in our hearts.
For every human being who looks up at the moon in the nights to come will know that there is some corner of another world that is forever mankind.
what a note
But there were three astronauts.
Mike collins stayed in the command module and didn't get to go on the moon.

Right. But it's not like Armstrong and Aldrin parachuted out of the module from 30,000 feet. Seems weird to plan for a scenario where only Collins would make it home. Was there a version written in case all three got stuck up there? How about a version in case only Armstrong died? Like if he stepped off the module and was immediately vaporized by space particles. Because then Collins and Aldrin would have been like, "Screw that, we're going home, Houston. Get the Armstrong-only version ready for print."
