There are reports going around the internet about Astronaut Neil Armstrong passing away . I saw these today and was taken back. Mr Armstrong was a idol of mine back in my childhood. I did a quick fact check and found out that he did pass away on August 25th.
I pulled it together and posted about his death. I even mentioned my love for space and the moon. I posted it up on Geeky KOOL. Quickly after posting it I realized that I missed an important key detail; Neil Armstrong died on on August 25th, but not this year. He died back in 2012. I even posted on it here at Geeky KOOL.
I hate when I fall for internet misinformation. I attempt to vet the information before we post it. But sometimes things do slip through and we get it wrong. This was one of those times.
