NASA Commemorates Neil Armstrong with Music Video Dedicated to His Moon Landing

To commemorate the one-year anniversary of Neil Armstrong's death, NASA has put out a video with footage of the astronaut set to a song about his accomplishments. 

"One year after his death, NASA is remembering Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong, the first man to set foot on another world," the agency explained.

"As part of the tribute, Grammy-nominated artist Eric Brace, with some video assistance from NASA, honors Armstrong with an original composition, 'Tranquility Base'," it added.

"Tranquility Base" is what Armstrong called the site of the first ever moon landing. Armstrong was the first man to land and walk on the moon on 20 July 1969. To this day, only 12 people have set foot on the moon, the last more than 50 years ago.

NASA has since focused on less ambitious missions and is only now talking about a possible asteroid capture, while the prospect of a Mars landing seems as far away as it did two or three decades ago.
