My Life
My name is Neil Alden Armstrong, I was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio on the 5th of August 1930. I was launched into space aboard a rocket ship for a mission to go to the moon twice and both times I was the commander. But, on the first attempt, when I was on the crew of the Gemini 8, during my first mission to go to the moon, there was an accident and my rocket malfunctioned, and it almost exploded but I made an emergency landing in the Pacific Ocean and was rescued by the U.S.S. Mason.Slide3
My Personal
Life
I’ve started to settle down. I’ve married with Janet Shearon on January 28, 1956, at the age of 26. Janet and I soon added to my family. Our first son Eric arrived in 1957, followed by our daughter Karen in 1959. Sadly, Karen died from complications related to an inoperable brain tumor in January 1962. The following year, my family welcome my third child, a son, named Mark.Slide4
In 1969, I got a bigger challenge. Along
with Michael Collins and Edwin E “Buzz” Aldrin, I commanded the Apollo 11 mission. The
three of us were launched into space on July 16, 1969. Serving as the mission’s commander, I
piloted the lunar Module to the moon’s surface on July 20, 1969, with Buzz Aldrin aboard. Collins remained on the Command Module.Slide5
At 10:56 pm, I was so
excited, when I made my first step on the moon’s surface. On that day, I stepped off of the Lunar module, and I said “one small step for
man, one giant leap for mankind.”
I made my famous first step on the
moon, but I representing all humans. It was not for me. I did not want to be famous. For about 2 and a half hours,
Aldrin and me collected samples and conducted experiments. We also took lots of photographs, including our own footprints.Slide6
Returning in 24 July, 1969, the Apollo 11 space craft came down in the Pacific Ocean of west Hawaii. The crew and the craft were picked up by the U.S.S Hornet, and we were put in quarantine for 3 weeks.Slide7
Before long, Aldrin, Collins and I were given a warm welcome home. Crowds lined the streets of New York City(NYC) to cheer on Aldrin, Collins and me. We were honored in a ticker-tape parade. I’ve received numerous awards for my efforts, including The Medal of Freedom and The Congressional Space Medal of
Honor.Slide8
