This is a second edition, non-fiction, children's science biography, revised and expanded from the first edition. It is about Neil Armstrong, astronaut, adventurer, educator, and engineer, who on July 21, 1969 became the first person to step onto the surface of the moon. Pushed by the flaming coat-tails of the Saturn V rocket, the earth's most powerful engine, Armstrong and his crew in the Command Module Columbia rode beyond the earth's gravitational pull. Buzz Aldrin accompanied Armstrong to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module Eagle while Michael Collins remained behind in Columbia to wait for the return of the soon-to-be moon-walkers.

Though he was a humble man, fame followed him throughout his life in the form of numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom, as well as rewarding careers teaching engineering and assisting NASA in several support roles.
