-
- Self-Improvement
Neil Alden Armstrong was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer, and the first person to walk on the Moon. He was also a naval aviator, test pilot, and university professor. He was the commander of Apollo 11 spaceflight, the first manned lunar landing mission, alongside Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. As he set foot on the moon, he declared, “That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Neil Armstrong is often described as a reluctant hero, who was very protective of his privacy.
Born August 5, 1930 Wapakoneta, Ohio, Died August 25, 2012, Cincinnati, OH
