Biography:
Neil Armstrong was a prominent figure in the history of space exploration. Born August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio, he developed an early fascination with aviation, earning his pilot's license at the age of 16.
Armstrong served as a naval aviator from 1949 to 1952 and later became a test pilot, flying experimental aircraft. His exceptional skills led to his selection as a NASA astronaut in 1962.
His most significant achievement came on July 20, 1969, when he became the first human to set foot on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission. His words, "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind," resonated around the globe.
After retiring from NASA in 1971, Armstrong taught engineering at the University of Cincinnati. He remained a relatively private figure in later life, passing away on August 25, 2012, at the age of 82. His legacy as a pioneering astronaut endures.
