Neil Armstrong is perhaps one of the most famous and well recognized astronauts in the world. After achieving a master’s degree in aerospace engineering, he went on to join the US nave, later fighting in the Korean War. The most significant moment in his life started when he was appointed commander of Apollo 11. On July 1, 1969, Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon, marking a historical moment for man. Upon his first step he spoke these famous words:

“That’s one small step for man, one giant step for mankind.”

His crew later placed the US flag on the moon. The crater of which Apollo 11 landed in was named in his honour, the Lunar Crater Armstrong. The bravery that he consistently displayed through out his life was inspirational. He became the role model for millions and my favourite astronaut.
