As an adult he entertained his friends with jazz piano and funny stories.After Armstrong retired from NASA, he served as a spokesperson for various U.S. Goddard Memorial Trophy, and the NASA Distinguished Service Medal.After the MoonSix more manned missions were sent in the Apollo program after Apollo 11
Up until this summer, Crosby intended to subject the Corvette to a full restoration, as he had with all of his other Corvettes, but then mid-year expert David Burroughs, a champion of original and preserved cars, convinced him to call preservationist Eric Gill of nearby Port Orange, Florida. The water pump and mufflers had at some point been replaced, but for an experienced Corvette restorer like Crosby, finding date-coded replacements took little effort
A few years later, Armstrong joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), which later became the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The commission investigated the explosion of the Challenger on January 28, 1986, which took the lives of its crew, including school teacher Christa McAuliffe
I know I am joined by millions of others in mourning the passing of a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew."Armstrong flew dangerous mission attacking bridges during the Korean War, piloted the experimental X-15 rocket plane that ascended to the edges of space and once returned to the office after ejecting from a crashed test lunar lander, famously to complete paperwork.Watch a video obituary commemorating astronaut Neil Armstrong's life, as well as vintage footage of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing."A lot of people couldn't figure out Armstrong," the author Tom Wolfe wrote in his novelization of the space race, The Right Stuff.

Neil Armstrong: First Man on the Moon
On the other hand, the former Apollo astronaut was publicly critical of plans to shift the crew-carrying burden in spaceflight from NASA to private spaceships. He was also an accomplished test pilot and a figure so large in American and world history that you can bet many generations from now people will still be talking about him, as well as his moon landing
Neil Armstrong - Telegraph
The success of the eight-day mission, including a faultless lift-off from the lunar surface to rejoin Collins, captivated the rest of humanity left behind on Earth. It was while at the controls of a B-29, ferrying a rocket plane up to its launch altitude that, for the second time in his life, Armstrong was nearly killed
While we mourn the loss of a very good man, we also celebrate his remarkable life and hope that it serves as an example to young people around the world to work hard to make their dreams come true, to be willing to explore and push the limits, and to selflessly serve a cause greater than themselves

The picture quality was terrible, but you could just make out the fuzzy jerky images of the astronauts.Even though none of us in that room knew the details of the mission, we all understood that it was a truly historic moment.

He then spent seven years as a test pilot, including pioneering flights in the X-15 rocket plane, before being selected by NASA to join the astronaut corps in 1962. Based at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Harwood is a devoted amateur astronomer and co-author of "Comm Check: The Final Flight of Shuttle Columbia."

The whole world knew Neil as the first man to step foot on the Moon, but to us he was a co-worker, a friend, and an outstanding spokesman for the Human Space Program. In a 2001 oral history interview, Armstrong credited those behind the scenes for the mission's success: "when you have hundreds of thousands of people all doing their job a little better than they have to, you get an improvement in performance
