A true legend in every sense of the word. It makes me wonder when we'll next see the footsteps of someone on a foreign planet. RIP.

The most famous man in the world?

Sadly the most recognised "person" in the world is Home Simpson. I could not find it but there is a video where people in the states, some like 40/50 as well as 20-30 - They had no idea who he was and the person they thought went to the moon was not even Buz.

Most famous man amongst intelligent people? Yep, defo.

RIP, Mr. Armstrong. An incredible human being.

Presidents, Dictators, Emperors, Kings and Queens (and their petty squabbles) may be forgotten, lost to time, but Neil's legacy will live on forever, as humans reach for the stars.

Fairly Humble about it too.
I wonder what things they did find and know about though and not allowed to say. Not Transformers of course but I am sure there were more then one thing they learnt or found or worked out they kept secret about.

You mean aside from some craters and dust etc? Plus a few rock samples.... what exactly do you expect them to have kept secret about that they found on the moon?

it really is made of cheese... didn't want to tell the world as it defies physics.
