First man to walk on the Moon has died. Astronaut
Neil Armstrong past away on Saturday. He was 82. Very sad news. I can remember growing up how I always wanted to be an astronaut and venture into outer space. Watching shows like Star Trek and watching the NASA space shuttles launch into orbit to a waiting space station. Many people are still longing for that pristine future presented in the 1968 classic sci-fi film titled
2001: A Space Odyssey. Yes, we all wanted that remarkable futuristic world with moon bases, huge circular space stations, and brave astronauts leading the way to other planets like Venus, Mars, and beyond. So thanks
Neil Armstrong for making a giant leap for mankind and showing the world that it is possible to walk on another planetoid. Thanks for leading the way. He is truly an inspiration. God speed.
On April 4th 2013 the world said good-bye to Roger Ebert. Most famous as a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967. Ebert was an American journalist, film critic, and screenwriter. In 1975, he was the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism. I can remember Roger Ebert in my youth watching him on the PBS show Sneak Previews with critic Gene Siskel, both helped popularized the televised film reviewing. Their trademark thumbs up or thumbs down could make or break a movie. Ebert co-wrote the screenplay for the 1970 cult classic Russ Meyer film “Beyond the Valley of the Dolls” Roger Ebert was highly regarded as a film critic for his grace and respected opinions. R.I.P. Roger Ebert. We will miss you.
