I don't find the passing of NA as particularly tragic, not do I consider him a hero. It was however very sad to see the death of someone involved in such a great achievement.

I wish his family all the very best at this difficult time.

There would be far more disagreeing with you than agreeing with you I would imagine.
Actually Neil Armstrong would be one agreeing being the reluctant humble hero he was.

I do agree though [just as Neil did] that there are literally hundreds that are also heroes, and that he Aldrin and Collins were dependent on...from the cleaner through to the Mechanics and Scientists that made it all go.
But irrespective, like anything in any field, Neil, Aldrin and Collins were destined to be there at the coal face, taking the risks, knowing that they could have been stranded 300,000 kms away with no hope of a rescue.
No wonder Buzz saw the need to give that overbearing obnoxious photographer a good right hook when he did.

Yep, in the minds of most they were true heroes.
