If someone asks you, "Do you know what animal flies highest?" Many people will definitely answer: "The eagle flies the highest." If someone tells you that eagles can fly to the moon, you will definitely think that this person has a brain problem.
1969 On July 20th, an American named Armstrong reported a message to all mankind that the eagle had flown to the moon. Everyone who heard the news at that time knew that there was nothing wrong with his brain, and the reported news was indeed true.
Of course, Armstrong is not talking about an ordinary eagle, but the American "Apollo 1 1" moon landing spacecraft. More than a billion people on earth watched Armstrong slowly get off the spaceship and carefully put his feet on the surface of the moon through live television. "This small step is a small step for a person; But for all mankind, this is a huge step! " Armstrong's famous saying became a great declaration of human conquest of the moon.
As the first space eagle to fly to the moon, Armstrong deserves to be a hero of all mankind.
Neil armstrong, 1930 was born in a small town in Ohio. Little Neil has been fascinated by flying since he was a child. /kloc-I started flying lessons at the age of 0/5, and the tuition fees were earned by my own work. Because of her excellent academic performance,/kloc-got a driver's license as an intern pilot at the age of 0/6. At that time, he didn't even get his driver's license. In Chinese, little Neil learned to run before he learned to walk.
1947 After graduating from high school, Armstrong won a scholarship from the US Navy and entered the famous Purdue University. 1949 Little Neil was drafted into the army and officially became a pilot in the US Navy. In the next ten years, Armstrong flew more than 200 planes, including gliders, helicopters and jets. The most famous model is the X 15 ultra-high-speed rocket plane, with a speed of 6,500 kilometers per hour ... During this period, Armstrong successfully completed the postgraduate course of the University of Southern California after work and obtained a master's degree in aviation engineering.
1962, Armstrong was selected by NASA and became the second batch of American astronauts. 1March, 966 16, Armstrong, as the commander of the spacecraft, piloted Gemini 8 spacecraft with Scott to dock with a satellite in space. After the successful docking, the spacecraft suddenly began to rotate. Armstrong flew the spaceship off the satellite, but it still somersaulted in space. Armstrong started one of the 16 jet thrusters, and the spacecraft was still spinning. They started the second propeller again, and after 30 minutes, the spacecraft finally stabilized. According to the instructions of the ground center, they terminated their mission and successfully flew back to the ground and landed in the designated waters of the western Pacific.
1July, 969 16, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins piloted Apollo 1 1 spacecraft, and started the first feat of human conquest of the moon. On July 2 1 day, they arrived at the scheduled landing site of the moon "Jinghai" and will land soon. Suddenly, they found a crater the size of a football field under the spaceship, which was full of stones of all sizes. If they land forcibly, their lunar module will probably be smashed by these stones. If they continue to fly forward, there will be little fuel left. Armstrong's ability to deal with emergencies has been brought into play again. He immediately took emergency measures to change the spacecraft to manual driving. After flying for about 20 seconds, he found a relatively flat place 6 kilometers away. His heart rate has risen from 77 beats per minute to 156 due to high tension.
The lunar module finally landed safely on the lunar surface. Armstrong immediately reported to the earth: "Houston, we reported on the' Jinghai' on the moon that the eagle had landed!"
After several hours of preparation, Armstrong was the first to walk out of the lunar module and left the first human footprint on the surface of the moon with his special rubber shoes.
Armstrong and Aldrin began to work intensively, putting some scientific instruments on the surface of the moon, including cosmic ray counters, seismographs and laser reflectors. They took many photos and collected some moon soil and rock samples. After staying on the surface of the moon for more than three hours, they returned to the lunar module.
On July 25th, the three of them successfully returned to Earth, completing their first feat of conquering other planets.
197 1 year, Armstrong retired from NASA and became a professor of aviation engineering at the University of Cincinnati. 198 1 retired from the university of Cincinnati and became the president of aviation computer technology company. 1993, Space Eagle was selected by relevant departments and entered the American Astronaut Hall of Fame.
