d e v i c e Posted August 9, 2012 #3 Share Posted August 9, 2012 He would have a strong heart, is my guess. I admire his humility. You don't see him on 'Oprah Winfrey' every 10 minutes or 'Entertaintment This Week' every second day, like half of these show ponies. Get well soon Mr Armstrong.

Gunn Posted August 9, 2012 #4 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Mr Armstrong, who turned 82 on Sunday, had surgery to relieve four blocked coronary arteries. That's pretty good for him at that age considering most people have that problem a lot earlier in life with Heart disease. Regardless, it's never a good thing to have heart problems at any age, period. But it's been a common problem, worldwide for a long time now. I hope he makes it to a hundred and then some.

Likely Guy Posted August 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) I hope that he makes it many more years as well. But, after the day when he does pass, I think that it would be fitting (if his family thinks likewise) that through some future moon mission, his remains would one day be scattered there.
