With his leadership and risk-taking he positively changed the future. Neil Armstrong demonstrated courage, determination and perseverance as he accomplished the intense goals throughout his life. Armstrong was born on August fifth, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Neil was the eldest of three children. His parents were Stephen and Viola Engel Armstrong. …show more content…
He had married Janet Shearon in 1956. After his voyages, Navy resignation, and all the fame, they got divorced in 1994. Neil next married Carol Held Knight in 1994 and they stayed together until Armstrong’s death not long ago. One of America’s hero died due to illness. He underwent bypass surgery on August 7, 2012, to relieve blocked coronary arteries. Although he was reportedly recovering well, he died on August 25th, in Cincinnati, Ohio, after complications resulting from the cardiovascular procedure.

His net worth is $3 million. He performed one EVA for two hours and 31 minutes. An EVA is an acronym for extra-vehicular activity. This is otherwise known as any activity done by an astronaut or cosmonaut outside of a spacecraft, outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. EVAs are also commonly referred to as spacewalks or moonwalks. He was in space for exactly 8 days, 14 hours, 12 minutes, and 30 seconds. His middle name is Alden. He passed away not even a full two years ago on Aug. 25, 2012. Lived to be 82 and passed in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. What a great legacy to have lived for, for more than 40 years. And he lived to be 82. What a magnificent life, sad to know that he passed away less than 2 years
