Godspeed on this journey, Commander. You gave us all, the whole human race, a gift beyond measure, and someday, perhaps, we will finally allow ourselves to inherit your legacy.

He did get to leave one virtually immortal legacy: the first footprint on the lunar regolith. That likely will outlast humanity itself, and may well even outlast life on Earth.

Quite a legacy for him, and one, I indeed hope, we live up to some day. Right now, it ain't looking too promising.
