Neil Armstrong, test pilot, astronaut, hero, all around curmudgeonly bad-ass motherfucker, has announced his plans to donate his personal papers to his alma mater, Purdue University. These personal papers will serve to "seed" what will become Purdue's comprehensive flight-themed collection.
-FUPPETS- has always held this man in the highest esteem, as well as all the other test-pilots chosen to serve as the U.S.A.'s first astronauts. The first man on the Moon was also the only one packing a camera, a Hasselbladt camera mounted directly onto Mr. Armstrong's space-suit's chest-piece. Because of this there are plenty of shots of "Buzz" Aldrin on the Moon but only a few still images of Mr. Armstrong.
In what is the most famous shot in television's short but illustrious history, Neil Armstrong has just stepped on the moon, after uttering his timeless words, "one small step for man...one giant leap for mankind."
