Yes Neil Armstrong was the most famous astronaut he was the head commander of Apollo 11. Apollo 11 was the most historic nasa mission ever it was the mission that made the name the first man on the moon. Neil and his team set off on July 16th, 1969 and ended the mission on July 24, 1969 the men who did the job was Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin. They were the first men to ever set foot on the moon there foot prints still remain on the moon.

10. While Neil and his wife were sleeping the were woken to a loud beeping then they realized the house was on fire.
11. After there fire they lost all the baby pictures of the child that passed.

Neil and his family were very upset but they bought a new house. A couple months after Neil and his team were called up saying the Apollo 11 was ready to launch. The mission launch was in Cape Canaveral, Florida on July 16th, 1969. Some say you can see the launch from 500 miles away just the flames in the sky. The mission  was so historic because Americas mission was to make it to the moon before Russia did. We were the first ones the reach the moon but not the first to make it into space. Because other countries launch satellites' into space.

To Nasa landing on the moon was a dream but it became a reality. People could not believe that someone could make a rocket that blasted into space. When Neil, Buzz and Michael launched Michael brought a camera and filled the trip to live TV. So people on earth could watch the mission, they saw Buzz Aldrin place the American flag on the moon, Neil collect moon rocks. The evidence they brought back was astonishing all the things they brought with them is in the Kennedy Space center museum.
