Neil Armstrong’s family announced today that the famed astronaut will be buried at sea.  The family of the Navy fighter pilot-turned-astronaut told TMZ of their decision but would not specify where exactly they intend to have that service.  Given the fact that Armstrong made his name by being the first man to walk on the moon, the choice to be laid to rest at the depths of the ocean may seem odd, but the practice is common for veterans of the Navy.
