I heard about the death of Neil Armstrong last year, and I knew it was a shame to have lost him, but the magnitude didn't hit me then like it did when I watched this video. It actually made me feel bad that I never appreciated him as much as I felt I did when I saw this, but it also made me smile a bit to know that he stood for something bigger than just himself or bigger than the fact that he walked on the moon. He stood for a magnificent accomplishment humans made with his help. I have to admit that it also made me crack a little smile when Hank said he was a nerd...
When he went to the moon it wasn't just him, he took all of us to the moon, he didn't say HA I JUST WENT TO THE MOON!!! He said I'm so happy to be human. God bless Neil Armstrong!
How great must it have been to witness the moment of Armstrong walking on the moon. What an amazing guy and I wish I could have met him but I will never lose the inspiration he has set for me.
One of my all time heroes! You will never be forgotten Neil Armstrong and your name and memory will live on for the rest of time. You took much more than one small step.
"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the earth. I put up my thumb and shut my eye, and my thumb blotted out the earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small." - Neil Armstrong
As a student at Purdue studying aerospace engineering, I'll, of course, be reminded of his great accomplishments every day. The Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering will basically be my home for the next few years, and it's an honor to have classes in a building named after such an amazing man.
Today I looked up to the sky for a moment and happened to see a full view of the moon. Immediately thought of Neil’s passing and gave a salute. RIP Neil. Your achievements will never be forgotten.
Neil said this as he set foot on the moon. "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind." For whatever reason, the "a" didn't make it through the radio transmission. So Neil's sentiments match the message of this video. 🌒
this video gave me goosebumps, i never really realised how awesome Neil Armstrong was. All you people arguing in the comments, shut up and just think about what you're typing before you ruin a beautiful tribute video to an extraordinary man.
Your video was on the mark. I had the opportunity to spend a day with him when he came to speak on Memorial Day in Gettysburg a number of years ago. Neil was the most amazing man that I had ever met. I count meeting him as one of the greatest things in my life. The Nation weeps today but can rejoice in what this brave American accomplished in his life.
Goodbye Commander Armstrong. Even when you were making history you could never imagine how you would inspire today's genius thinkers. You were a true pioneer to exceed the achievements of the most celebrated fathers in history. An inspiration, modest, charming, extraordinary. Safe journey... You've been to heaven once - one last mission Commander x
A true pioneer who believed fully in everything he did and everything that his fellow man achieved on that day in 1969.A brave yet very modest man.His name is legend. Wherever you are on Earth people know who Neil Armstrong is and what he did.God bless you Neil and may you fly amongst the stars for eternity.
Hank did an outstanding job making a tribute to Neil Armstrong, better than anyone else so far. Neil Armstrong was not man that affected one nation or one generation, he affected the whole world and it was a better place for it. It taught children to dream, that anything was possible, and in a day and age where our future need icons to remind us that we can reach for the star we have lost a symbol of how much the human race can accomplish.
Thank you. I remember telling my dad I wanted to be just like Neil Armstrong, he said you want to go to the moon? And I said no, I want to be a nerd. I accomplished my dream but it was this fantastic man who helped me realize it. Rip
There's a lot of comments on this video that make me really sad, but this is an extremely special tribute video about a man that if he meant something to you or not, was an icon of hope and accomplishment for America during the time. He inspired people to learn and grow and to have hope again and is still inspiring others to do exactly what he did. Let's do what we can to be civil on this video please, RIP Neil Armstrong, you are very greatly missed
My dream was to meet to meet him, and now I will never be able to, that is why I cried so much, Im honored to have a dream in common with what he had, not even the stars were his limit. But his greatness will endure the years, and will remain intact in our memory.
Makes me think about how old I'm getting, When my childhood heros and TV stars start passing away..I know my time on this planet will be ending soon too. Time to focus on the really important things in life.
Wonderful tribute! Thank you, Hank. Safe passage, Neil. I wish that you have many more adventures, and I am certain that, if you do, you will rise to every challenge and simply revel in the wonder of it.
Well done, Hank! Respectful and inspiring. May flights of angels lead you on your way, Commander Armstrong. It seems your work here is done, but rest assured, it will never be forgotten.
I have this bad feeling... In sixth grade I really wanted to meet the first man on the moon. And I never got to. RIP Neil Armstrong. He was an amazing guy and a true role model.
Neil Armstrong is not just a american hero. He is a true hero of mankind. He symbolizes all the efforts of the team, which consists of 400000 man and women all over world, who accomplished the greatest deed in history of mankind. Neil shows us what we all can achieve by working together, exploring the unknown and always giving our best. R.I.P. Neil
R.I.P. neil armstrong. Im pretty sure someone already commented on this, but i will say it anyways. He deserves the honor of being remembered as a good man. Just from the fact that he went on to teach and not profit from this event shows how humble a person he was. For that i say again Rest In Peace neil armstrong.
Neil Armstrong with one step pointed the way to Humanity's colonization of the Universe. No matter the time it will take. He dared to show the impossible could became reality. And that Dreams weren't for just silly daydreamers. But the very substance and fiber of every great achiever.
I have to say, that was a remarkably good speech! I never realized he had intentionally lived his life in such a way as not to project the accomplishment onto himself. THAT's character!
"Do you know how many people are watching this live on the telly? Half a billion. And that's nothing, because the human race will spread out among the stars-you just watch them fly. Billions and billions of them, for billions and billions of years. And every single one of them at some point in their lives will look back at this man taking that very first step and they will never ever forget it."
The first moonwalker... Has left us with the legacy that man can attain anything with limited resources. He will be always remembered in human history and will inspire for thousands of years to come. May God bless him.
my made physically made me stop playing and walked me to the tv to watch when he stepped on the moon. It was so grainy on our black & white tv it was hard to see. I had turned 9 the day before and didn't really grasp significance. She said one day I will tell my grandchildren I saw the 1st man on the moon. That day has come-thank you Momma for making that memory and Neil Armstrong for your service
Hank, Thank you for this..what you said resembles what my father had said earlier. Neil Armstrong was everything you said and more. A great man indeed.
How awesome would it have been if vlogging was around when mr Armstrong went to the moon. One tiny step for men, one giant step for mankind.. my name is Neil Armstrong, and these are the Armstrong lunar diaries. He inspired all of us to want to become an astronaut when we were growing up, because we all knew that we wanted to be just as much of a badass as he was. May he rest in peace.
"Now, come on. A bit of history for you. Aren't you proud, 'cause you helped. Now. Do you know how many people are watching this live on the telly? Half a billion. And that's nothing, because the human race will spread out among the stars-you just watch them fly. Billions and billions of them, for billions and billions of years. And every single one of them at some point in their lives will look back at this man taking that very first step and they will never ever forget it."~ The Doctor.
after watching many clips of astronauts im very impressed with the quality of people they send up there.. its like the way i am in my best times is how each and every one up there is all of the time
I LOVE the fact that we are in a post Neil Armstrong world. I don't like the fact that he's not here anymore, but I love the fact that we had the honor of having him with us at all. :)

This video have chills. I may not be a math wiz or an engineer (although I do have some electric engineering experience) but I will do my best to help out our human race to accomplish great things like he did.
Please everyone, stop arguing! Whatever your opinions about what money should be spent on, please just remember the achievements of Neil Armstrong and how much he inspires people.
Brilliantly articulated. I'm almost tearing up having listened to this. I just found out about 10 minutes ago that Neil passed away; it makes me wonder: have I just not been paying attention, or has this been severely under-reported?
no "one small step" or "giant leap" puns needed, my respect for a man who captured the imagination not only of a nation, nor even a generation, but an entire species, for all time.
We lost one of our heroes , and a great human been !!!! I myself lost one my life's heroes I'm saddened for he well always be my hero . My you Neil be in pease , and the present of our lord thank you for your inspiration . Rest in pease our hero .
Neil Armstrong u will be missed, not only did u change the lives of many ppl in the usa but in the whole world for being the first human to walk on the moon RIP
It amazes me how fiercely humble Neil was. I think that's something we all can look up to.

He was one of us. Hell, he was all of us. RIP, Cap'n.
I have to admit, I did shed a few tears while watching this.
Gosh Hank! You making me Crryyyyy.
RIP Neil Armstrong, a true legend. You will be missed , remembered and never forgotten
When he went to the moon it wasn't just him, he took all of us to the moon, he didn't say HA I JUST WENT TO THE MOON!!! He said I'm so happy to be human. God bless Neil Armstrong!
Yes he said that because he knows more truth than you
I'm now crying, you got me to see how important he was and now hes gone. It's a sad day in the science community for losing such a great man.
This is one of your best Hank
Man this was dark, but it almost made me cry. You thought this through
A great man, truly a loss to the world. This was a lovely tribute Hank.
How great must it have been to witness the moment of Armstrong walking on the moon. What an amazing guy and I wish I could have met him but I will never lose the inspiration he has set for me.
"one small step from man, a giant step for mankind " the most known sentence and love words and they even make a great song RIP Niel .
One of my many heroes :( May he rest in peice and continue to inspire every explorer, Scientist, and Hero after him
One of my all time heroes! You will never be forgotten Neil Armstrong and your name and memory will live on for the rest of time. You took much more than one small step.
This was absolutely beautiful, and a wonderful tribute to an extraordinary life. Thank you so much, Hank Green.
"It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the earth. I put up my thumb and shut my eye, and my thumb blotted out the earth.
I didn't feel like a giant.
I felt very, very small."

How could anyone dislike this video? Excellent video, as always, but with a very real, personal touch. He will never be forgotten.

Thank you for this wonderfully done tribute to a brilliant man who has been the symbol of hope and adventure to so many people throughout the world.
This was stunningly beautiful. Here's to you Neil, and to all the men and women who dared to believe in his endeavor.
Your video was on the mark. I had the opportunity to spend a day with him when he came to speak on Memorial Day in Gettysburg a number of years ago. Neil was the most amazing man that I had ever met.

I don't normally cry, but I am just in awe of Neil and his accomplishments and his drive.
I actually met the man once on a flight from atlanta to LA.. the kindest person you can imagine.. so humble yet distinguished
A true pioneer who believed fully in everything he did and everything that his fellow man achieved on that day in 1969.A brave yet very modest man.His name is legend. Wherever you are on Earth people know who Neil Armstrong is and what he did.God bless you Neil and may you fly amongst the stars for eternity.
How does this get dislikes? How can you dislike a tribute to a man who was so inspiring, so great? Is this what society has come to?

I love how, almost every time I check my subscriptions, there is a new Hank video on one of his many channels. R.I.P. Neil Armstrong.
Thank you. I remember telling my dad I wanted to be just like Neil Armstrong, he said you want to go to the moon? And I said no, I want to be a nerd. I accomplished my dream but it was this fantastic man who helped me realize it. Rip

I had managed to not cry about his passing until I watched this video. Very well done, SciShow team.
My dream was to meet to meet him, and now I will never be able to, that is why I cried so much, Im honored to have a dream in common with what he had, not even the stars were his limit. But his greatness will endure the years, and will remain intact in our memory.
Well produced young man. I don't have many heroes. But this boy was my first.
Makes me think about how old I'm getting, When my childhood heros and TV stars start passing away..I know my time on this planet will be ending soon too. Time to focus on the really important things in life.
Hank, you have, like, the perfect voice for narrating this video. I was so close to tears.
What a beautiful tribute. Wonderfully done. Thank you.
What a beautiful tribute, that conveys who Neil Armstrong was, and what he meant to Humanity.
Wonderful tribute! Thank you, Hank.
Safe passage, Neil. I wish that you have many more adventures, and I am certain that, if you do, you will rise to every challenge and simply revel in the wonder of it.
....a beautiful narration and expression of sincere admiration......
Beautifully put. He was a hero to us all and his humility made him all the more so.
Well done, Hank! Respectful and inspiring.
May flights of angels lead you on your way, Commander Armstrong. It seems your work here is done, but rest assured, it will never be forgotten.
Jeez Hank. Wait to make me sob uncontrollably all over the place.
That was really beautiful.
Thank you for your video.
I have this bad feeling... In sixth grade I really wanted to meet the first man on the moon. And I never got to. RIP Neil Armstrong. He was an amazing guy and a true role model.
I hav looked up to him since i was two years old. Thank you Neil Armstrong for teaching me to strive for greatness and never give up. :')
amazeing
both the video and the man
He has left this world twice. The first time made us cheer, the second made us cry.
Neil Armstrong is not just a american hero. He is a true hero of mankind. He symbolizes all the efforts of the team, which consists of 400000 man and women all over world, who accomplished the greatest deed in history of mankind. Neil shows us what we all can achieve by working together, exploring the unknown and always giving our best.
R.I.P. Neil
Was in a little puddle of tears by the end. Lovely tribute for an incredible man.
Amazing tribute, beautifully put together. Take care Armstrong
That was a very moving video.. Thank you for making it.
That was a beautiful tribute Hank! RIP Neil Armstrong.
A video like this should never fail to bring tears to your eyes.
R.I.P. neil armstrong. Im pretty sure someone already commented on this, but i will say it anyways. He deserves the honor of being remembered as a good man.

I find it marvelling and absoluetly amazing that a video to pay tribute to a man's death has sparked a flame war.

Hank, Thank you for this..what you said resembles what my father had said earlier. Neil Armstrong was everything you said and more. A great man indeed.
Thank you for doing this Hank. Rest in peace Neil, may your memory fuel the minds of future little astronauts and push us that much further.
R.I.P Niel Armstrong. The man that was the first of many. He is a symbol of how we can work together. May he rest in peace.
This is a great video. You have given a great review of a great man. Thank you!
Beautifully done. Such an unbelievably sad thing to happen. We will forever remember him!
He was an incredible human being. Represented the best the human race had to offer. Class, humility, intelligence. RIP Neil.
The world will miss him
R.I.P. Neil Armstrong, there are no words for how awesome you where.
He lived down the road from me, and it makes me sad that I won't ever get to meet him even though I've been so close.
Thank you for this truly touching tribute.
I too am an Armstrong and so very proud to be one so I could have at least that much in common with such a great man!
How awesome would it have been if vlogging was around when mr Armstrong went to the moon. One tiny step for men, one giant step for mankind.. my name is Neil Armstrong, and these are the Armstrong lunar diaries.

I'm genuinely confused as to why anyone would actually dislike this...?
A huge inspiration for mankind and one of my heroes. Rest in Peace Neil Armstrong.
Gosh, I wasn't this sad before this video. Neil Armstrong was indeed an inspiration.
this video made me cry... Neil Armstrong may you not only rest in peace but in awesome as well
Very sad, let's hope a new generation can be as great and inspiring.
He was a symbol of our species doing something greater than the individual! May those the walked among the stars with him be an ever growing number!
Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong. You've been to the heavens once before and now you have returned. You will be missed.
Beautifully written wonderfully executed.
always sad when one of my continued heroes of my childhood passes... but this video was great, hank. RIP neil, you never forgot to be awesome.
Simply and well said. RIP Neil......A Truly Great Man.....Period.....
This video have chills. I may not be a math wiz or an engineer (although I do have some electric engineering experience) but I will do my best to help out our human race to accomplish great things like he did.
Now that's someone who was truly important to history.
This was a very nice tribute to a true legend, may he rest in peace.
