Neil Armstrong, 1st man to walk on moon, has heart surgery; NASA
wishes him speedy recovery

By Associated Press, Updated: Wednesday, August 8, 4:16 PMAP

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, is
recovering from heart surgery days after his 82nd birthday.

A NASA spokesman talked to Armstrong’s wife, Carol, and said the
former astronaut was recovering Wednesday. It wasn’t clear where the
surgery occurred or where Armstrong was recuperating.

A Facebook statement from NASA Administrator Charles Bolden wished
Armstrong a quick recovery from cardiac bypass surgery.

Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon
on July 20, 1969. He spent nearly three hours on a moonwalk with
fellow astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin.

A message Wednesday on Aldrin’s Twitter account also wished Armstrong
well.

Armstrong has largely stayed out of public view in recent years but
appeared at Ohio State University in February for an event honoring
fellow astronaut John Glenn.
