Neil Armstrong was a quiet self-described nerdy engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made ""one giant leap for mankind"" with a small step on to the moon. The modest man who had people on Earth entranced and awed from almost a quarter million miles away has died. He was 82.  (AP Photo/ Alex Brandon)</span></div>"
