While the death of Armstrong is surely a recognizable event, it is clear that most of us don't pay any attention to the hundreds of engineers and scientists who worked together to make Armstrong's travel even possible. He's only a legend because of what others made possible for him to achieve, but it's not his fault at all. However, the elevation of his status to hero is what always annoyed me when he was alive and that of course will only become a bigger nuisance now that he is dead.

 

Just my opinion though.
