NEIL ARMSTRONG
On July 20, 1969, the world watched with anticipation as Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong exited the lunar module and took humanity's first historical step on the Moon. This monumental "giant leap" is undoubtedly one of the most significant and unifying achievements in human history. Today, one major site for preserving this story and America's rich heritage in space exploration is the Armstrong Air & Space Museum, located in Armstrong's hometown of Wapakoneta, Ohio.
