    The sound of A1 plans being ripped to shreads can be heard at a roar level.

    R.I.P. to the maker of the most momentous step in history.

    Favorite story I just read.... how Armstrong sued his barber after the barber sold a lock of his hair for $3,000. Armstrong was very protective of his image and wary of people profiting off it.
