Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut and the first person to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. He was born on August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio and passed away on August 25, 2012. Armstrong was a decorated pilot in the U.S. Navy before joining NASA as an astronaut in 1962. He also participated in the Gemini 8 mission in 1966 before making history with the moon landing.

I would like to know more about Neil Armstrong's personal life, his thoughts and feelings about his lunar landing experience, and how his historic achievement impacted his life and career afterwards. Additionally, I would be interested in learning about any lesser-known contributions or achievements he made in the field of space exploration.
