Neil Alden Armstrong is an American test pilot, astronaut, and was the first human being to walk on the Moon. Armstrong then became a civilian test pilot for the NACA (which later became NASA) at the High-Speed Flight Station (which later became the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center ) at Edwards Air Force Base, California. On November 30th, 1960, Armstrong made his first flight in the North American X-15. He made a total of seven flights in the rocket plane reaching an altitude of 207,500 feet in the X-15-3 and Mach 5.74 (3,989 mph) in the X-15-1. He left the Flight Research Center with a total of 2,450 flying hours in more than 50 aircraft types. From 1960 to 1962, he was a pilot involved in the cancelled United States Air Force Dyna-Soar orbital glider program. Armstrong was selected by NASA as an astronaut in 1962. He served as the backup command pilot for the Gemini 5 mission in 1965. He commanded Gemini 8, which achieved the first docking of two orbiting spacecraft, in 1966, but aborted shortly after docking because of malfunctioning maneuvering thrusters. He was the backup command pilot for the Gemini 11 mission in 1966. He also served as commander of the backup crew for the Apollo 8 lunar orbital mission in 1968. In 1969, Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission. He narrowly escaped death during training in the crash of a lunar landing research vehicle (LLRV) on May 6th, 1969. During the actual mission, he took manual control of the Lunar Module (LM) Eagle and piloted it away from a rocky area to a safe landing. His first words from the Moon were: "Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed." Several hours later he climbed out of the LM and became the first person to walk on the Moon and said: "That is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." There is a small crater on the Moon near the Apollo 11 landing site that is named in his honor.
