Neil Armstrong was a reluctant hero. He easily could have cashed in on his fame of being the first man to set foot on the Moon. But he refused to and led his life as privately as he could. When he was needed, though, as in the Challenger accident investigation, he was there.
Armstrong was one of the greats. Five hundred years from now, the history of the 20the Century will be this thumbnail: "In 1903, the Wright brothers were the first to fly a powered aircraft. In 1969, Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon. And there were a bunch of wars and other stuff like that."
