Apollo 11 moonwalker Neil Armstrong died on Aug. 25, 2012 at age 82, and NASA has posted a video tribute with an original song Tranquility Base by songwriter Eric Brace. Fittingly, the video starts with a 1960s era television set showing the first Moon landing were you watching on a TV like that on July 20, 1969 when Neil took those first steps on the Moon?The song begins:Tell me Neil, what you were thinkingWith all of us watching you on the TVTaking small steps and giant leaps and planting the flagIn a place no one had been.
