Let's build something big and name it after him.
Something big on the Moon.
Addendum 20120828. I disagree with Armstrong's advocacy of business-as-usual NASA programs which were collapsing due to bureaucy and pork-barrel politics. (HT Instapundit). Today's NASA is not the agency of von Braun's time.
IMO the next step should be private-sector human spaceflight. Let the private sector create a sustainable human infrastructure in earth orbit; then, if necessary, adapting lessons learned, let the government fund early human spaceflights within the solar system.
The foregoing orderly scenario does not take into account that helter-skelter international rivalries may supervene.
No disrespect meant to Neil Armstrong or his achievements.
