Astronaut Neil Armstrong passed away this afternoon at the age of 82—but even the man who coined the phrase, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," is not immune to the confusion of the internet. To that end, NBC mistakenly wrote that astronaut Neil Young had died. And no, he's not the guy who rides the bike.
As far as we know, Neil Young is alive and well, and Lance Armstrong (the aforementioned biker) is still banned from cycling. Neil Armstrong also followed in the footsteps of Arcade Fire and Bon Iver, as some Twitter users desperately tried to figure out who he was and why he was trending—and other tweeters got angry about it.
