  5. My fact file is about an astronaut called Neil Armstrong.

    Neil Armstrong was born on the 5th August 1930. He was the first man
    to walk on the moon. This happened on the 20th July 1969. He said
    the following words at this time: 'That's a small step for a man,
    one giant leap for mankind.' He returned from the moon to Earth
    on the 24th of July. At the age of 15 he got his pilot license and after graduating from college, Neil Armstrong became a test pilot. He died on the 25th of
    August 2012. His parents' names were Stephen Koenig Armstrong and Viola Louise Engel. He had two siblings, Jean and Dean. The first plane Armstrong ever rode on was the Tin Goose, at age 6. He first saw it at the Cleveland Airport at a National Air Show. Neil and his father then went to Columbus to see it again and the pilot said that Neil could have a quick ride. Armstrong was
    only 16 years old when he received his student pilot's license. Neil Armstrong does not have a city named after him. However, he does have a crater on the moon named after him. There is also a Neil Aemstrong Air and Space Museum.
