Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is an American test pilot, astronaut, and the first person to walk on the Moon.
Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio and served in the Korean War as a jet fighter pilot for the U.S. Navy. He attended Purdue University, where he was a member of two fraternities, Phi Delta Theta and Kappa Kappa Psi, and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Aeronautical Engineering in 1955. Armstrong then became a civilian test pilot for NASA and piloted the 4,000 mph (6,400 km/h) X-15 rocket plane. Armstrong was selected by NASA as an astronaut in 1962. From 1960 to 1962 he was a pilot involved in the cancelled U.S. Air Force Dyna-Soar orbital glider program.
He commanded Gemini 8, which achieved the first docking of two orbiting spacecraft, in 1966, but aborted shortly after docking, because of malfunctioning maneuvering thrusters. He served as commander of the backup crew for the Apollo 8 lunar orbital mission in 1968. |
