Screenshot of a 26 Aug 2012 blog post ‘Remembering Neil Armstrong…’ by Greg Lloyd, TractionSoftware.com after Armstrong’s 25 Aug 2012 death. The post starts with a quote by Armstrong, writing in ‘The New Engineering Century: ”I am, and ever will be, a white-socks, pocket-protector, nerdy engineer — born under the second law of thermodynamics, steeped in the steam tables, in love with free-body diagrams, transformed by Laplace, and propelled by compressible flow.” Lloyd remembers asking a question to Armstrong at an event for high school students in Spring 1996, just after the Gemini VIII mission. The post includes tributes to Armstrong, links to his New York Times obituary, NASA mission logs, an Armstrong NASA oral history interview, a link to the original 1996 Gemini VIII Mission Crew Debrief, and other nerdy references.
