"Walter Cronkite seemed to enjoy the highest of ratings. He had a passion for human space exploration, an enthusiasm that was contagious, and the trust of his audience. He will be missed."
-- Neil Armstrong
One of the most famous moments in the storied career of Cronkite, 92, who died Friday, came with the Apollo 11 landing on July 20, 1969.
A fan of the future, Walter Cronkite relished the adventure of space exploration, say astronauts, scientists and historians, marking his passing just three days before the 40th anniversary of the moon landing.
