About Neil Armstrong Walks on the Moon's Sea of Tranquility

On August 5, 1930, Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio, a quiet Midwest town that would one day send a son to the Sea of Tranquility. He grew up building model planes and earned his student pilot certificate before he had a driver's license. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong stepped off the Eagle's ladder and onto the lunar surface, speaking words that the whole world stopped to hear.
