Neil armstrong
When Neil Armstrong was two years old he loved going to the Airport to watch the planes take off and land. He got so excited just watching. When he was five years old he pretended that he was hovering over his bed. He wanted to fly! He loved airplanes and at six years old he had his first airplane ride. He was so smart in school that they moved him from second grade into third grade because he was reading at a fifth grade level. Every airplane book he got his hands on he read. He always liked building model airplanes. When Neil was in high school he worked in the Chemistry lab. In his basement he made a wind tunnel. And on the roof of his garage he built an observatory where he had telescopes to look at the moon and the stars. He learned so much and was so excited that he couldn't wait to fly. He worked in a pharmacy to pay for his flying lessons. When he was only sixteen years old he got his pilots license! He graduated high school and went to Perdue University on a US Navy scholarship. He learned everything he could about planes and rock
I think that it must have been hard for him to take that first step onto the moon. For Neil Armstrong this was a dream come true. I look up to him because he was so smart in school and he tried so hard to make his dream come true. He was on Gemini 11 and then on Apollo 10. He and David Scott orbited the earth three times and docked with the Agena. When Neil Armstrong opened the hatch and stepped onto the moon he said, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. Apollo 10 was launched from Cape Kennedy, orbited the moon, and came within ten miles of the moons surface. He had such a great life and accomplished so much. He didn't want to stop there, he wanted to just keep on going. He became a test pilot for experimental X-15 rocket planes which flew to the end of the earth's atmosphere. He went back to Nasa and continued to work with the space program. On July 16,1969 Apollo 11 blasted off with Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin.
