Gene Wolfe's literary portrait of Neil Armstrong

I thought you folks would appreciate being reminded that Wolfe actually composed his own tribute to Neil Armstrong back in 1980: http://silkandhornheresy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/this-warrior-of-dead-world-gene-wolfes.html While I'm at it, does this reminiscence from Armstrong not sound rather Wolfean? "It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn't feel like a giant. I felt very, very small." (Neil Armstrong) URTHRISE: [image: 9.3 Earth seen from the Moon] -DOJP
