Neil Armstrong Remembered: Memorials Honor First Man to Walk on Moon

The late astronaut Neil Armstrong, first man on the moon, will be memorialized in ceremonies around the country on Friday (Aug. 31).

Armstrong, 82, passed away Aug. 25 due to complications resulting from cardiovascular surgery, which he underwent earlier this month.

In July 1969, Armstrong commanded Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing mission. His first words upon setting foot on the moon were, "That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."

Armstrong's family, together with invited guests including the first moonwalker's fellow astronauts and the leadership of NASA, were gathering for a private memorial service in Cincinnati. The ceremony at the Camargo Club, a private golf course, was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT).

The family's service was strictly invitation-only and closed to the press. Among the confirmed attendees are Apollo astronauts Bill Anders, Jim Lovell and Gene Cernan, as well as Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), who was to eulogize Armstrong. NASA's chief Charles Bolden and his deputy Lori Garver were also scheduled to attend. [Neil Armstrong ? An Astronaut Icon (Photos)]

National remembrances

According to NASA, planning is underway for a national service to be held in Washington, D.C. sometime in the next two weeks.

In the meantime, two NASA centers were holding public tributes on Friday.

The U.S. Space & Rocket Center, the visitor center for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., announced a 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) ceremony around its vertical Saturn V rocket display, where red, white and blue balloons would be released in memory of Armstrong.

The Kennedy Space Center in Florida was also set to meet around its moon rocket exhibit at the Apollo/Saturn V Center, where center director Robert Cabana was set to lead the remembrance.

President Barack Obama ordered flags be flown at half mast on the day Armstrong was interred, although when that will occur and where the late moonwalker will be laid to rest is not yet public.

Wink at the (blue) moon

?

Earlier this week, the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in the astronaut's hometown of Wapakoneta, Ohio held a public tribute, where attendees gathered to "wink at the moon," a gesture first suggested by Armstrong's family.

"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink," the family said in a statement.

In a coincidental bit of cosmic alignment, Friday is a "blue moon," or the second full moon of the month.

More tangible tributes are underway on television and in print.

The Discovery Channel is set to air "One Giant Leap: A Neil Armstrong Tribute," a new one-hour documentary, on Saturday at 8 p.m. EDT (check local listings). The program includes footage from Armstrong's final public appearance and interviews with Apollo 11 crewmates Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins.

And Easton Press, which specializes in limited edition, leather-bound books, has partnered with LIFE magazine to publish a special 96 page photo retrospective. The book, "Neil Armstrong, 1930-2012," is set for release in October.

Armstrong's family has established the "Neil Armstrong New Frontiers Initiative," a memorial fund benefiting the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. They have asked that in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to the Initiative or to two scholarship funds setup in Armstrong's name by the Telluride Foundation and by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).

Jason Falls with All Business, No Bull in Iowa

Our friend Ben Smith brought Social IRL to Des Moines this week where Dwolla's Ben Milne and You Matter movement director Angelia Maiers also spoke. ?We think it's interesting to see/hear what some of the folks who attended thought about the half-day session with Jason Falls of Social Media Explorer. ?"So, what did you learn today....?"

?

Viral Videos & Business

One of the this summer's biggest internet hits (nearly 7 million views) came from a trio of Kansas Brothers in a parody called "Farming and I Grow It." Our friend Paul Yeager visited the location for PBS's Market to Market. The goal of the video was to inform Greg's city friends about life on the farm. Shooting took 3 weeks to complete and had to be done around the farming work day. They had some help from their sister Laura in filming some of the memorable shots. At first the other two brothers, Kendal and Nathan had to be convinced to keep shooting. But, after a few days they started having fun and knew they have a good product. ?Why am I sharing with you? ?Because this is a lesson in connecting with your target market in a way that blends lots of angles for an industry that's had difficulties with a younger demographic.??The story will be tonight at 8:00PM and Sunday at 12:30PM during Market to Market. Here is the video but make sure you tune in for the back-story with Paul.

China dissident Chen accepts Taiwan visit invitation

Blind Chinese activist Chen Guangcheng has accepted an invitation to visit Taiwan, Taiwanese lawmakers said Saturday, in a move likely to anger China.

"Chen gladly accepts our invitation and plans to make the visit no later than the summer next year since he is currently working on several projects," lawmaker Lin Shih-chia told AFP after meeting with Chen in New York.

Chen is expected to address Taiwan's parliament as well as meet with local human rights and legal groups in a visit accompanied by his family, Lin said, adding that details are yet to be finalised.

Lin Chia-lung, another lawmaker who also visited the activist, said the trip will be hosted by civil groups in a bid to reduce "unnecessary reactions".

"Chen is a visiting scholar in the United States and we urge that his rights to travel and free expression be respected," he said.

The 40-year-old activist has been living in New York since May after a dramatic escape from house arrest to the US embassy in Beijing.

Chen was sentenced to more than four years in prison in 2006 after exposing abuses in China's one-child policy, and was then placed under house arrest upon his release in September 2010.

His escape from house arrest and his dramatic arrival at the US embassy in Beijing highlighted China's long-criticised human rights record. After high-level negotiations between US and Chinese officials, Chen was allowed to move to the United States.

China considers Taiwan part of its territory awaiting unification, even though the two sides split in 1949 after a civil war.

However, ties have improved markedly since Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou assumed power in 2008 on a Beijing-friendly platform.
