I'd lay money on Neil Armstrong being remembered when all the politicians, tyrants, artists and authors of the Age of Reason have all been forgotten. At least I desperately hope so.

Perhaps similar to one of Asimov's enduring characters. "In later stories, it is revealed that Baley becomes a legendary hero for millennia. References to him can be found in Prelude to Foundation and Foundation and Earth."

I'm currently reading the original Foundation Trilogy. I wonder if he shows up in any of these books even later in time.

Only in the last two.

(Of the seven, not three.)
