One of the Kings of the Rocketmen… Neil Armstrong, 1930-2012

Neil Armstrong will be remembered for Apollo 11, a mission along with Mike Collins and Buzz Aldrin represented all of us on Earth and landed on the Moon. But his career, flying over 200 types of aircraft, is the stuff of legends. He flew the X1-B up to 11 miles in altitude… seven X-15 flights with a maximum height of 39 miles… Gemini 8 to 146 miles before an in-flight malfunction saw the capsule go into an uncontrolled spin at over 60 rpm… and then took Eagle  down to a safe landing.

All on the shoulders of teamwork.

RIP
