Sad though the news of Armstrong's passing is, it may provide a boost to the idea of human exploration of the solar system.
Humanity may be reminded of how inspiring it was to have someone walk upon another celestial body.
I am also constantly reminded by Curiosity's stumbling progress about just how slow, stupid and cumbersome a machine is even in this day and age and how much better a few guys in a rover would do when it comes to exploring the terrain of Mars. "Strong are the arms of a man, and subtle his thought."
