2nd Reflection Topic

The explorer that I have choose are Niel A.Armstrong. Niel A.Armstrong is the first man to walk on the moon. He was born in Wapakoneta Ohio, on August 5, 1930. He began his NASA career in Ohio. 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. After serving as a naval aviator from 1949 to 1952, Armstrong joined the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1955. His first assignment was with the NACA Lewis Research Center (now NASA Glenn) in Cleveland. Over the next 17 years, he was an engineer, test pilot, astronaut and administrator for NACA and its successor agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Armstrong has been decorated by 17 countries. He is the recipient of many special honors. Niel A.Armstrong believe that the Good Lord gave us a finite number of heartbeats and I'm damned if I'm going to use up mine running up and down a street. He was a best explorer that I have see.I so admired him.
