Choose 1 explorer (eg.: Neil Armstrong). Write your opinion about this person in about 200 words.


I have chosen Neil Alden Armstrong as my explorer. Neil Alden Armstrong (born August 5, 1930) is an American aviator and a former astronaut, test pilot, university professor, and United States Naval Aviator. He was the first person to set foot on the Moon. His first space flight was aboard Gemini 8 in 1966, for which he was the command pilot. In my opinion he is a very good example to be inspired by most of people. He is amazing who would turn out to be just that(people we wanted to be). It's never too late in life to be amazed, nor is it ever too early to expand your dreams. Neil Armstrong history teach me to be what I want and to achieve it with full of my commitments and it's always about action, not just knowledges. We try on whatever that we want,never feel regrets even when we fail at first. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind" is the words from Neil Armstrong that could be the greatest inspiration for us, he reminds me of things that i like in childhood could inspired me to lead my life.
