I LOOK UP TO....

In my field I look up to: Neil Alden Armstrong
I choose him for many reasons. He became the first man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969, at 10:56 p.m. EDT. He and "Buzz" Aldren spent about two and one-half hours walking on the moon. I really apreciate that because I's difficult get there.
Neil Armstrong received his B.S. in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University and an M.S. in aerospace engineering from the University of Southern California.
Also He is a lot of things He is an american astronaut, university professor, test pilot, etc.
So that's what I think that this person I look up in my field, in my expertise area Indutrial engineer.
Well, Here's a litle information about him:

Neil Alden Armstrong born in August 5, 1930 is a former American astronaut, test pilot, university professor, and United States Naval Aviator. He is the first person to set foot on the Moon. His first spaceflight was aboard Gemini 8 in 1966, for which he was the command pilot. On this mission, he performed the first manned docking of two spacecraft together with pilot David Scott. Armstrong's second and last spaceflight was as mission commander of the Apollo 11 moon landing mission on July 20, 1969. On this mission, Armstrong and Buzz Alldrin descended to the lunar surface and spent 2½ hours exploring while Michael Collins remained in orbit in the Command Module. Armstrong is a recipient of the
Congressional Space Medal of Honor.
Before becoming an astronaut, Armstrong was in the
United States Navy and saw action in the Korean War.
After the war, he served as a test pilot at the National Advisory Committe for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station, now known as the
Dryden Fligth Research Center, where he flew over 900 flights in a variety of aircraft. As a research pilot, Armstrong served as project pilot on the F-100 Super Sabre A and C aircraft, F-101 Voodoo, and the Lockheed F-104A Starfighter. He graduated from Purdue University.
