It's all started on the day that Dake Silton came to Neil and asked him if he wants to join NASA and come to the audition to be an astronaut. Neil agreed and got really excited. He went to the audition that last 3 days in secrecy and was chosen to be on the Gemini 8 and the Apollo 11 missions (= Gemini 8 was the last program of the Gemini’s programs. Apollo 11 was the first mission in 1968 to the moon) Neil had been interested in planes since he was a child, He went on his first flight when he was 6 years old and from that day on he started to save money for flight courses. When he was sixteen years old, he started those courses. Neil went to the University of South California and finished there with an academic degree in engineering of aviation and gravity. Neil's first mission flight was in the army during the Korean war, he was a co-pilot and he photographed the enemy's territory. Neil Armstrong's first mission was the Gemini 8. In this mission he was only a co-pilot and they only anchoring to another object in space but on his second mission, Apollo 11, he was the commander of the mission and In this mission they got to the moon. That was the most exiting moment of all, Armstrong made the first step on the moon and we are sure it felt amazing. His famous first words on the moon were:" That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" They made a sign to perpetuate the first landing on the moon and put an American flag. They had some problems on the flight when they needed to land the radar couldn't find a place to land. They also had problems with theirs computers. At last they fixed the computers and land down. If they had landed 15 minutes later, they would have crashed into the moon and died.

I started when I was a child with the all plane things, I loved it as a child and went to my first fly when I was 6 years old and from that day I started to save money for flying courses, I had to work 22 hours to get 9 dollar. When I was sixteen years old I started the courses. And when I was bigger I went to university of south California and finished there with academic degree of engineering of aviation and cavity.


 * 3. When did you decide to be an astronaut?**

I don’t really know when, 4\5 month after Dake Sliton came to me and asked if I want to join NACA and to come to the audition to be an astronaut. I was really excited. And after 2 years I was chosen to be in Jamini 8 and Apollo 11.


 * 4. What did you do in the Gemini 8 and Apollo 11? What was your job there?**

Jamini 8 was the last program of the Jamini's programs I was chosen to be a pilot in the backup team, with William Andres.

In Apollo 11 in 1968 I was the commander mission and got the honor to get first on the moon.


 * 5. What did you say when you first got on the moon?**

I really thought what I should say and after a long thought with my self I said:" That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind."


 * 6. What was your first mission?**

It was a mission in the army during the war in Korea I was sent to be a co-pilot and to photograph the enemy.


 * 7. What did your family thinks about your being an astronaut?**

It was amazing! I felt like the luckiest man in the world! To be the first who walked there it was great!


 * 9. Did you have any problems in the flight?**

Yes, when we needed to land down we ad a problem with the radar, he didn’t found a place to land down and we had problems also with the others computers. At last we fixed the computers and land down. If we were landing 15 min later we would have crashed down to the moon and die.

At first it was, but I think that even if we were crashed down we would survive.

Dear Friends and Family, I was very excited to be on the moon not to mention being the first human being to walk there! It was a big honor to represent my country. Today I want to share with all of you how it was and how I felt. I wish I could share with all of you the feeling I felt there because only that way you could really understand what it was like. But since I can't so I'll tell you what I can and I hope you get the best of it! Its started when Dake Silton came to me and asked if I wanted to join NASA and be an astronaut I was so excited that I felt like I was in a different world. I was also a little bit afraid of the audition and I didn’t want to have any high expectations I couldn't even tell my best friends about the fear or the mission, it was a secret. When I got accepted I was very happy and I couldn't wait to go already. Back then I didn’t know how hard the practicing. They lasted two years it was very difficult. After that they chose me to be on the Gemini 8 and the Apollo 11 missions. In Gemini 8 I was a pilot on the backup team, with William Andres.In the Apollo 11 I was commander on the mission and got the biggest honor to be the first to walk on the moon. A lot of you asked me when I came back way did I specifically choose the sentence: One small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind and what it means. Well all I can say is that I really thought that I did a tiny little step and it change a history. This was the perfect sentence to say up there. I really wish every one of you would do something in his life that will really change and make a difference in our world. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would be the first one to walk on the moon. Well I guess g-d has bigger plans for us than we have for ourselves.

=**Rationale**= We chose to do our project on Neil Armstrong because he made a really big change in history so, we wanted to explore all he did to get there. We also wanted to learn about how he became anastronaut. It seemed to us that there would be a big and interesting story behind the first human being to walk on the moon.

=**Reflection** **–** **Oriy****a**= I have learned from this project a lot of things I didn’t know about space and astronauts. I also learn how good it is to work with a partner like yonat it was a grate advancer and real fun and I learned a lot from it.

= = =Yonat- reflection= I really like to work on this project, I have learned a lot of things I didn’t now before and working with oriya made it even better. I had a lot of fun doing it and learn about a life of a person I barley knew anything about him.
