Neil Armstrong.
For trying again.
After he nearly died in the first space trip: he didn't give up. He kept his cool.
Not many people know that Armstrong took not 1, but two trips
into space.
He made his first journey in 1966 as commander of the Gemini
8 mission, which nearly ended in disaster.
'Armstrong kept his cool
and brought the spacecraft home safely after a thruster rocket
malfunctioned and caused it to spin wildly out of control.
During his next space trip in July 1969,
Armstrong
and fellow astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins
blasted off in
Apollo 11 on a journey to the moon that went down in
the history books.
It took them four days to reach their destination.'
