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."
