That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” Neil Armstrong contributed to an event that is one of the biggest events in the history of civilization. On the other hand, Neil Armstrong is more than what people thought of him, an astronaut. Along with being an astronaut, he is also a professor, United States Naval Aviator, voice actor, test pilot, Naval Officer, and aerospace engineer. Neil Armstrong’s courage to be the first man on the moon affected American culture forever. Before Neil Armstrong is landing operating space shuttles and walking on the moon, he is going to have some events that sparked him in his early life. Neil Armstrong is born on August 5, 1930 in Wapakoneta, Ohio. (NC, 1) The city now is only a population

One contribution that Neil Armstrong made to American society is that he is a professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati. (NC, 17) He chooses to be a professor after he announces that he did not plan to journey into space again. “He accepted a teaching position in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, having decided on Cincinnati over other universities, including his alma mater, Purdue, because Cincinnati had a small aerospace department. He hoped that the faculty members would not be annoyed that he came straight into a professorship with only the USC master's degree.” While he is a professor, he develops an artificial heart-lung system. While Armstrong is at UC, he serves as the director of the collaborative Institute of Engineering and Medicine. He and Henry Heimlich, the inventor of the Heimlich maneuver, use some NASA advances to develop a new heart-lung system. “The team attempted to apply NASA advances to develop a miniature human heart-lung implant.” Finally, his other occupation is being an aerospace engineer. Neil Armstrong graduated from Purdue University and University of Southern California and gets a degree in aerospace engineering from both schools. “After he graduated from college in 1955, Neil Armstrong went to work for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.” Neil Armstrong is not just an astronaut, but he is contributing anyway he can to use his skills and knowledge to help
