Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, was recovering from heart surgery, days after his 82nd birthday. It wasn't clear where the surgery occurred or where Armstrong was recuperating.

A NASA spokesman who talked to Armstrong's wife, Carol, said only that the former astronaut was recovering yesterday. His birthday was on Sunday. "Neil's pioneering spirit will surely serve him well in this challenging time and the entire NASA Family is holding the Armstrong family in our thoughts and prayers," a NASA statement said.
