Neil Armstrong, the first man to step foot on the Moon, has passed away at the age of 82. The legendary U.S. astronaut died from complications following heart surgery he had earlier this month. He made history on July 20, 1969 as commander of the Apollo 11 Moon-landing mission. As he stepped onto the Moon's surface, he famously spoke the words: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." He was 38 at the time of his historic walk and instantly became one of the most famous people on the planet. However, he spent the rest of his life trying to avoid the spotlight and downplay his achievement. He later said he never understood why people focused so much on what he did.

Armstrong was born in 1930 and grew up fascinated with flying after taking a plane at the age of 6. He began making model planes and collecting books and magazines on aviation. As a teenager, he got his pilot's license before his driving license. In 1949, he became a Navy pilot, and flew combat missions in the Korean War. In 1958, he joined the organisation that became NASA and became a test pilot. Years after his Moon landing, Armstrong was asked how he felt about knowing his footprints would stay on the Moon's surface for thousands of years. He said: "I kind of hope that somebody goes up there one of these days and cleans them up." When asked about the Moon, he said: "It's an interesting place to be. I recommend it."

世界首位登上月球的宇航员,尼尔·阿姆斯特朗去世,享年82岁。本月初,这名传奇宇航员接受心脏手术,并不幸引发并发症逝世。1969年6月20日,他创造了历史,他是当时“阿波罗11号”登月任务的指挥官。他随后成功登月,并说出了著名的话:“人类的一小步,世界的一大步。”当时他38岁,并迅速成为知名人物。然而,他尝尝躲避闪光灯,对他所创造的成就也是轻描淡写。他随后说到,我不明白人们为什么对我登月如此关注。
阿姆斯特朗出生于1930年,他曾在6岁时乘坐飞机,并从此爱上了飞行。他开始制作飞机模型,收集与航天有关的书籍和杂志。青年时期,在获得汽车驾照之前,他率先获得了飞行驾照。1949年,他成为了空军飞行员,并在朝鲜战争中执行任务。1958年,他进入美国国家航空航天局,并成为了试飞员。数年之后,他成功登月,曾经有人问他,你的月球足迹将存留数千年,对此你有何感受。他说:“我希望有人能够再次登月,清除我的脚印。”当被问及对月球的感受时,他说:“非常有意思的地方,我推荐大家过去。”
