His Moonwalk, on which he famously said, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," was one of the most significant events in human history. He returned to Earth a world hero, and his name is still universally known today, almost three decades after the event. A lunar crater close to the landing site was named for Armstrong in honor of his achievement. (1930-) A-Z. SEE LIFE NEXT ALSO STORY
