Neil Armstrong Wiki Biography

Neil Alden Armstrong was the first human being to ever walk on the surface of the Moon. Neil Armstrong was an American Astronaut, who born and raised in Wapakoneta, Ohio, U.S. Not to mention him being a professor in university, he was also an aerospace engineer. Armstrong was born August 5th 1930 and sadly, he passed away on August 25th 2012. At the time of death Neil Armstrong was 82 years old. The cause of his death was said to be the blockage of one of his arteries. When Neil was young, he was quite an active guy. In his young days he served in the Navy. Neil was involved in the Korean War. During his Navy years he worked as a test pilot.

This gave Armstrong the access to a lot of advanced prototype aircrafts. That was until he decided to become an astronaut. It was because of this experience in the Navy that gave Neil the opportunity to join NASA, when he volunteered for NASA Astronaut Corp. Armstrong was on to NASA missions to space as a NASA astronaut. He was on Gemini 8 and Apollo 11. The latter was his landing on the Moon. The exact date when he stepped out onto the surface was 21th of July in 1969. After the landing on the Moon Neil went on working as a professor teaching his students for 8 years before his resignation at the well-known University of Cincinnati. Not only that, Neil worked for NASA even after he ended his career as a professional astronaut – he served as an accident investigator for NASA. Speaking about his personal life, Armstrong was married to Carol Held Knight. Neil Armstrong‘s net worth is estimated to be $3 million.

Neil Alden Armstrong is also the author of probably the most famous quote to ever reach the planet Earth. When Apollo 11 landed on the surface of the Moon, Neil Armstrong proudly said “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Actually, the authentic quote is missing an article “a” which gives the quote completely different meaning linguistically. Armstrong is not only famous worldwide because of this quote. There are a lot of other activities he had taken up on in his life that made him even more wealthy. He didn‘t obtain all of his wealth just by being an astronaut and being in space, or teaching his students. The famous astronaut also endorsed such brands as Chrysler, Bankers Association of America, General Time Corporation. He was also known as a public speaker as well as a board member of quite a few corporate boards. These include Marathon Oil, United Airlines, Taft Broadcasting, Eaton Corporation as well as Learjet. We can clearly see that Neal used his knowledge in every way possible by exploring all of his options in life and trying various professions that made him rich. Neil Alden Armstrong died being a millionaire and one of the best known people in history of NASA and all around the world.

Neil Armstrong Quotes

• In my mind, the important thing was that we got four aluminum legs safely down on the surface of the moon while we were still inside the craft. To me, there wasn’t a lot of difference between having ten feet of leg between the bottom of the spacecraft in which we were standing and the surface of the moon, and having one inch of neoprene rubber or plastic on the bottom of our boots touching the lunar surface.
• [commenting of the feasibility of a manned mission to Mars] I suspect that even though the various questions are difficult and many, they are not as difficult and many as those we faced when we started the Apollo (space program) in 1961.
• The important achievement of Apollo was demonstrating that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited.
• Yeah, I wasn’t chosen to be first. I was just chosen to command that flight. Circumstance put me in that particular role. That wasn’t planned by anyone.
• Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed. [First message to the Earth from the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle after landing on the Moon, 20 July 1969]
• It suddenly struck me that that tiny pea, pretty and blue, was the Earth. I put up my thumb and shut one eye, and my thumb blotted out the planet Earth. I didn’t feel like a giant. I felt very, very small.
• That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. [First words spoken on the moon. The speech as written by his wife read, “That’s one small step for a man, a giant leap for mankind”. Unfortunately, he forgot the a in the between for and man, thus changing the meaning.]

Since then any requests that were sent to him were answered with a form letter stating that he had stopped signing autographs.
• In 2005, he became embroiled in a bizarre legal dispute with his longtime barber, Marx Sizemore. Armstrong alleged that after cutting some of his hair, Sizemore sold it to a collector for $3000.00 (US) without his knowledge or consent. Armstrong demanded that if Sizemore did not either return the hair in question or donate the proceeds to a charity of Armstrong’s choice, he would take legal action against him.

It wasn’t until we were back on Earth and in the lunar receiving laboratory, looking over the pictures, that we realized there were few pictures of Neil. My fault, perhaps, but we had never simulated this in our training.”.
