Neil Armstrong and the music of the Ether

Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon, is incredibly humble and was potentially the best pilot that has ever lived. You'll hear a lot about Neil this month, but this little info-bite from the BBC is possibly the most wonderful:

And then there is Armstrong's apparent eccentricity.

"The music he took on the mission to the Moon was deeply eccentric," says Andrew Smith. "Most astronauts took one classical piece, and one country and western.

"Armstrong took Dvorak's New World Symphony. But the other was theremin music - that eerie, wavy sound associated with sci-fi movies that goes 'woo woo'. On one hand it was the most perfect thing he could take, on the other it is massively eccentric - and that's kind of him."

Awesome.
