Photo: President Obama Winks at The Moon

Note: we have been informed that this photo was taken several months ago. It was posted on this Tumblr page the other day with the quote from the President referencing Neil Armstrong’s passing. We regret the incorrect description.

“Neil’s spirit of discovery lives on in all the men and women who have devoted their lives to exploring the unknown–including those who are ensuring that we reach higher and go further in space. That legacy will endure–sparked by a man who taught us the enormous power of one small step.”

–President Obama on the passing of Neil Armstrong

Statement from the Family of Neil A. Armstrong

“For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”
