Burial At Sea

Neil Armstrong flew78 combat missions off the decks of aircraft carriers as a young Navy pilot during the Korean War.  Following his wishes, his remains will be buried at sea.

That will give Armstrong another tie to Christopher Columbus.  The exact final resting place of Columbus is unclear; more than one spot claims that distinction.  Now, there will be no grave for Armstrong, either.
