Many decades ago, man made his first tentative probes into near space.
Then, his eyes fixed on the moon, that cold and lifeless globe with its
borrowed light. He was poised to soar beyond the earth into a vast and
trackless void.

Neil Armstrong, the Columbus of Space came into this world on August 5,
1930, and left it on June 16, 1969, for what is perhaps the greatest
adventure in human history. He left his footprints on the powdery
surface of the moon, the first man to do so. A man, who did many
incredible things, made world headlines with the Apollo 11 voyage.

His mission gave rise to new ideas and his first step became the
corner-stone for future exploration.
